He also plays blues guitar at Amelia's at the Princeville Airport every Sunday night from around 9 to whenever. I recommend both experiences as part of any visit to Kaua'i's north shores... Aloha. TR/HPM Reviews:This all instrumental album features acoustic and electric steel guitar (mostly acoustic) with slack-key guitar--all played masterfully by Ken Emerson. The Honolulu Star Bulletin's John Berger calls it "a must buy for anyone interested in the history of Hawaiian steel."
