Hi!
The name that popped out to me was Leland "Atta" Isaacs. Cyril Pahinui, Gabby Pahinui's son and a great slack key guitarist and singer himself, referred to Gabby, Atta and Sonny Clillingworth as three original great slack key guitarists. His brother was the iconic steel guitarist Barney Isaacs. I first heard them on the Ry Cooder produced album "the gabby pahinui hawaiian band vol 1". So you have one more great piece to your puzzle. (I recommend the gabby band album)
