just heard this now on 90.5. excellent commentary. Talks alot about the invention of the slide in hawaii, how that influenced country, the crowds got too loud, and they electrified the guitar as a result etc, etc. I\'d post the audio link, but it wont be available uptill 1pm est. you can get the audio from the above link afer that time.
