Of all the Hawaiian songs I play, I believe "Beyond
The Reef" is my favorite.

C.E.,
I grew up earlier than that!
My first lap guitar was an acoustic Oahu.
My 2nd guitar was an electric Gibson.
I was playing that guitar on a Saturday morning radio show and there were some pictures taken after the program.

Erv, I thought you and I were about the same age. I am in my eighties, but didn't start
playing until 1949. My Dad played an old acoustic Kalamazoo (best memory), before
we got electric steels.
Here is a photo of me and my brother playing at a high school talent show in 1950.
We played Red River Valley, didn't win, but had a lot of fun.
