I just landed on this quite by accident this afternoon while I was sewing and talk about an enjoyable time. You've made my day. What sweet sweet beautiful music. Thank You!
Such sweet sounds from Ledford! He and Frank and their friends provide the most relaxing and enchanting sonic breezes from that lovely place in the world - Hawaii. The trade winds and surf sounds are the only parts missing, but they are there in memory. Thank you again! Bless you and those you love.
Mahalo Ledward, you are a genius. You have a gigantic following. Aloha nui and greetings from Australia - the biggest Pacific island. I am Australian by birth but Hawaiian by choice!
This extraordinary performance blows me away. I just found it now. Been a fan for decades. He is unlike any other performer I know of. His guitar has a life of its own, it breathes the spirit of Hawaii. Also he is a master teacher. In one minute he just now teaches us about the unique style of playing Hawaiian guitar, what the left hand does with melody and the right hand with bass. Effortless at every aspect of his genius. Mahalo.
If this great guitar picking doesn't rid you of whatever stress you carry, and put you in a happy and relaxed mood, nothing will! Thanks for sharing, buddy! And by the way, he's got a great voice too!
There are no words. Led brings the spirit of Aloha everywhere he goes, sharing his extraordinary talent, in his humble and happy way. I can listen 24/7. Ala-way up! Jus' press, Led...Dottie in PDX
Led brings the spirit of Aloha everywhere he goes. His humble and happy nature blends with his extraordinary talent on the instruments, as he makes them TALK! I could listen 24/7 Ala-way up!.🌺 " PDX Dottie"
Wow, was looking up the slack key festival and came across this! Cuz, I didn't know that your teacher was your uncle Fred, unreals! So proud you playing Kennedy Center! And like always gives me a tear bringing back the sound of Hawai'i...mahalo..... Guy & Tricia
