The very first time I saw Uncle he was playing music in Berkeley at the Freight. I studied his fingers closely because I knew that he was playing in a tuning that was strange to me. I thought he would never divulge the secret of his slack key guitar style tuning to me but he must have seen me and knew what I was thinking ...during the intermission he gave me a piece of paper that had his style of slack key tuning. I will never forget him as long as I live. A great man! Mahalo nui loa Uncle Ray!
Kiho Alu legend, I'm going to miss him. Excellent footage. I just posted a few local entertainers from my Television Show. Just type "Talent Hawaii" in the search to find us.
If not the greatest slack key player, then certainly in the top one. I could listen to him for hours - and often do thanks to the cds.

Magic - I have a tape of Ray's guitar playing, but nothing of him singing. Thanks!

This song sounds so good, no mater when it's performed by Gabby Pahinui or Ray Kane.
