Easy breezy hawaiian stuff. I've got a few things left to do, but I'm interested in hearing comments and critiques before I finalize.Thankshttp://soundclick.com/share?songid=7334094

Love that stuff Erich. That's going on the album when I do a "Best of Taxi" CD.I could have used you on My Circle K song I just posted. I used steel loops for the little bit of steel I have in there. Would love to have a lap steel solo in the empty space. Give it a listen and you'll see what I mean.Cam

Thanks Feaker. Playing lap isn't too bad if you're already up to speed with slide playing and alternate tunings. Other than that it's a matter of getting used to the different position. Those are actually Pink Salmon. I catch on fly, but usually use a 1/4 ounce maribu jig that I tye myself and use a light graphite trout rod -- fun stuff and great eatin'; especially smoked.Thanks Cameron,I liked your Circl K song. I gave a listen and left some comments.

Very nice. You're good man. I'm impressed. The mix sounds good, everything seems pretty balanced. And wait...I'm playing it again Andy

Hey Erich, I was playing this when the wife walked in and she heard it and she said what I was thinking."That's a cute little tune".Keep it up!Kitz

Nice, Erich. There always seem to be people looking for Hawaiian music and this is definitely good enough.It might be a little understated to stand completely on its own, but definitely works as background.Challenge to you: write/record a fast song with the same instrumentation and call it, "Lap Dance."Vince
