My latest tune composed within the last week. Kapapa Island waltz. Just stuck an imaginary pin in Google maps and came up with the name grin
I DO hope I've managed to capture the Hawaiian flavour with the backong here.
In my opinion the pedal steel from BIAB gives the tune a fantastic lift.

You definitely managed to call on that Hawaiian feel! It feels like listening to an old record in the beginning, then around 0:58 it sounds like you step outdoors. <3 I love it.

I originally clicked on the song because I thought you were talking about Kappas! I was rather curious, I have to admit. This was not what I was expecting, but I think this is a lot more lovely than coming face-to-face with a kappa! =P

I really am getting attached to the sound of that lap steel. I have started to look for one. Tom Adams places a pedal steel in the forum on some his tunes as well. I have used some of the pedal steel real tracks on some of my tunes as well. I think the slide guitar adds so much to the tune. Well done

Beautiful, Graham! Very easy to listen to, relaxing. You may need to trade your kilt for a grass skirt. I'm imagining the visual. lol

Thanks a million Ember, as I said, I think the Hawaiian steel from biab real tracks really sets off the whole tune

Graham,

It is a wise idea to decide the location name in the title by using the Google map wink

Beautiful and atmospheric! Fantastic lapsteel guitar play! I have never been to Hawaii and you gave me a chance to visit there ... in my imagination.

Don If I was ever in a grass skirt, I'd be thrown in a funny farm for sure.

Very nice!
Gives me a hankering to visit Hawaii again - and a reminder to dig out my Keola Beamer slack key guitar albums.
You are really getting the hang of that lapsteel and its great to hear it with BiaB. Well done.

I reckon my chances of hitting the lotto are roughly the same if I buy a ticket or not.

We've been fans of the lap steel for years. I think I first paid attention to it on Jackson Browne's early recordings.

And it hard to go wrong with a waltz.

We enjoyed the composition and the performance!
