Any Herb Remington fans out there? I was looking through my record collection on Monday for Hawaiian hillbilly records to play for tiki kiliki's visit, and I found quite a few Hawaiian tunes by steel player Herb Remington on various steel guitar compilations.

I found out that he played with Bob Wills and Spade Cooley before starting his own band in the 1950s called The Beachcombers, but I have not seen a whole album by the group. Anyone have one? I did a search on TC and couldn't find any reference to a band called the Beachcombers.

Now he sells steel guitars and tabulature on his web site. He has a new lap steel called the Playboy that's $500. I want one!
