  2. “Torchy” was daringly derived from the righteous retrospective: Jerry Byrd – Master of the Steel Guitar, Volume One.

  5. “Moonlight and Shadows,” the 1936 song by Leo Rubin and Friedrich Hollander was debuted in 1937 by Dorothy Lamour, and this version comes from singer and guitarist Owana Ka’ohelelani Salazar’s mid-1980s first recordings, gathered under the title, “Owana,” with Kapa Stern on Trombone, Alan Akaka on Steel Guitar, and Jeff Rasmussen, Haumea Warrington and Alan Koa on Acoustic Rhythm Guitars.
