Before falling in lust with the steel guitar, I was a full-metal shreader for years even though I didn't particularly like metal. It just came about by continually running scales and modes for hours on end.

I have almost every type of guitar from hot-rodded Strat to Gibson ES 135 archtop. But I don't touch the 6 string standard tuned stuff anymore.

My current ax is a 1952 Rickenbacher double neck steel guitar console.

In addition, I play bass, some ukulele, and some mandolin.

Spike mentioned our current band - The Smokin' Menehunes in his post above.

The weirdest thing about the band practicing Hawaiian music in my gargage is you never hear the neighbors scream "turn that damn Hawaiian music down - I'm calling the police!"

Blah, blah, blah...
