Anyone have an idea where I can get the sheet music for Andy Iona's "Sand"?

Dunno, but Baz Henriquez posted the words in his mag a couple of issues ago. I recommend the Jerry Byrd video on YouTube with Gary Aiko (he played and sang with Auntie Genoa at the Marriott) on vocals. You can pick it up from there. A note: to get his intro, Jerry plays in D, but the Jules Ah See recording from the 40's and Billy Hew Lin on the "Hawaiian Rainbow" VHS/DVD do it in C (mo' bettah for Ki'hoalu). |

Gary's version is absolutely beautiful. (He and Jerry recorded it together more than 30 years ago on Gary's first solo CD.) And Owana Salazar's version is gorgeous, as well - very sultry.
To be fair to Gary's resumé, he does not live in the shadow of his mother - although their gig together is his most recent. He started with Don Ho at Honey's in the early 1960s with a crew that included Kui and Nani Lee, Zulu, Tony Bee, Marlene Sai, and Sonny Chillingworth... Then starred in the Hawaii Calls broadcasts from the mid-1960s until it went off the air in 1974... Then performed and recorded with his brothers... Then performed regularly at the Halekulani Hotel when they brought back Hawaiian music every evening starting in 1978... Then led a 1940s revival revue (with big band a la Harry Owens and Johnny Noble) at the Ilikai Hotel in the late 1980s through early 1990s... And only began performing with his mom in the early 1990s when she began performing at the Marriott (then Regent) in the early 1990s.
But the best place to hear Gary has always been on his regular visits to the Kahala Mandarin where he would add an occasional vocal to Betty Loo Taylor's beautiful piano playing. I don't believe she is there anymore, either. That is a pity.

"Sand" fell off the guitar in "taropatch" in "C" position. Really easy to get the D9 and Gaug-b9.
I've been working on it with Slipry1. Cool tune. |

Yeah. It only works for a C6 tuning with a G on the top (G E C A) because those are the same intervals for the A6 tuning (E C# A F#) that's on the top of the B11 tuning. You need a bar slant to get the II-7 chord, though, or tune the lower G (string 5) to an F#. I think that maybe Gabby used this C6 tuning for his version of "How'd Ya Do", since it's in C - and he did use the tuning a lot when he played on an 8 string steel. If we need more comments to this, let's shift it to the steel page. |

Thanks for the post Basil! Very cool article and tab. I am new to the steel, but I have found a good used 6 string lap steel and an 8 string lap steel and find it completely addictive.
What kind of bar do you recommend using?
