Hey Antoine (OK, so now we have two dogs in the patch....)
You are going to love Leonard Kwan's playing -- he's the essence of cool.
You should also check out Atta Isaacs. He played with Gabby and is probably the most technically advanced slack key player of them all. Truely mind boggling and inspiring. And soulful to beat the band.
Here's a link to a CD that had some of his solo playing & sound clips (mahalo, Aunty... you are the best!)
& I'm hip to being a beginner -- it reminds us of why we went into music in the first place. I only hope that I can keep that sense of discovery in my music!
Aloha e Mark ! I don't know how I'm gonna do with all this : every day there's a new Slack Key master to come into my ears ! So much music and players to discover, years of listenings ! Atta Isaacs is really great, a monster guitar player ! And the Mele website is a true gold mine, with all its sound samples, I guess my nights are gonna shorten ...
