Howzit?! I made my one and only trip to Hawaii (Oahu) staying in da kine 1982-87. I made 3 good acquaintances: one being the late (R.I.P.) Dr. George S. Kanahele...he had the original "Hawaiian Music Foundation" kine. There aren't many, but I notice that a few female steel guitarists have appeared...I love da kine sound.... |

Owana Salazar (and I think, Canada's Lorene Ruymar) were the ONLY two female students that the late Jerry Byrd EVER graduated!! |

Aloha: Annie Kerr was born in Honolulu on December 8, 1905, and she left us on January 6, 1967, at the age of 61. A member of the Royal Hawaiian Girls Glee Club, Annie formed the popular group “Annie Kerr and her Trio” in 1928, using an interchangeable roster of talented ladies, including Thelma Anahu, Healani Doane, Milla Peterson Yap, Irmgard Farden Aluli, Diana Farden Fernandez, Nani Makakoa, and Irma Kaeck. Annie Kerr was possibly the first Hawaiian wahine steel guitarist to be recorded. Mahalo, Harry B. Harry B. Soria, Jr. www.territorialairwaves.com Your Source For The History of Hawaiian Music |
