quote:Kaapana has discovered slack key charms all listeners wherever he plays. “I see the reaction of people from different cultures and they tell me how it makes them feel good. It’s kind of soothing and takes the stress away and makes you feel good inside. And sometimes it makes you cry because it brings back memories and I think that’s what the music is all about. Every time I hear the music it brings back a lot of memories.
“To me, the essence of slack key is that it has to come from within you, like the music is just flowing out of you, you just feel so good and you express it through the guitar, it comes out in the notes and melodies. You’ve got to feel to play. The music comes out how the player feels. Sometimes I can be playing and I’m getting bored so it’s time to put it away.”
Some great stuff from Led. I've been listening to Soliloquy a lot recently so the Keola interviews were timely and insightful.
