The concert season is surely up on us and I feel like I'm already in full swing!! In this MUSIC INSPIRED episode I'm here to share with you 2 of my most recent musical experiences. I recently attended performances by the Hawaiian Jam Rock band KANEKOA, and looper extraordinaire KELLER WILLIAMS! BOTH are performers NOT to be missed!! I had never heard of Kanekoa, but decided to take a chance due to a comment from Grateful Dead drummer Bill Kreutzmann. Being a Deadhead myself I was sold when I heard he stated that, "Kanekoa are the Hawaiian Grateful Dead." That's all it took for me to take a chance and man oh man am I SOOOO glad I did!! As you'll hear me say MANY MANY times in this episode, "They are SPECTACULAR!" In regards to Keller, well I've seen him perform many times BUT had never taken in one of his "Grateful Gospel" concerts and since this one was on Easter Sunday I just knew I had to go!!! Oh what a way to celebrate life!!! He equally, as expected, did not disapoint and neither did his back up band :) Have you heard of neither? Are you familiar with both? Know one but not the other? Whatever your answer is, spend a little time with me and get pumped about seeing one, the other or BOTH!! OR get inspired to fill up YOUR concert docket for this summer's concert season with YOUR favorite performers!! MAY THE MUSIC NEVER STOP :) **DISCLAIMER: Please take note that any references to ketamine infusions or any other form of medicinal treatments, mainstream or non mainstream, are strictly meant to provide an insight into my own experiences.

Frankie Vaughan seemed to be constantly present on British Television in 1960s. Mr Moonlight they called him. He had a big voice and a big stage presence, top hat, bow tie and tails. He had many hits during the 1950s and had a brief career in Holywood. Most notably opposite Marilyn Monroe in Lets make Love. Here he gives us The Green door. Lita Rosa- Hernando's Hideaway. Rosa started her stage career at the age of 12. At 24 she was lead female singer with Ted Heath. A strong voice which probably never reached its full potential with the material she was given. Variety is the spice of life on Forgotten Songs. So next up is Tom Wright with Driving into Glasgae in a sour milk cairt. Its billed as traditional on the Beltona label. It's not but was written in 1914 by Tom Johnstone for the comedian J.C macDonald. It's in broad Scots. Two from a F.S favourite, Kay Starr- Too busy and If you love me. Dickie Valentine was a popular crooner in Britain through the 50s. Like many British singers he existed on a diet of American covers. He died in a car crash in 1971. Joan Regan and The Squadronaires give us Ricochet. The Squadronaires were the R.A.F big band. There is some confusion of her birth name and exactly where she was born. Again she did a lot of American covers through the 50s but her U.S recorded version of Don't talk to me of love become a Northern Soul classic. Languishing in the F.S colection has been this piece of US Billbord chart history from Tommy Edwards. It's all in the game was the first number one by an African American in the chart. Released in 1958 it was the biggest hit from this singer- song writer. He sadly died young at 47. Frank Ferera with Beautiful Love. He was a Hawaiian music pioneer. We go all posh with Air on a G string with Norbert Wethmar on violin. The only information I can be certain of about him are two references from The Radio Times in the late 1930s. Two performances with the BBC Orchestra. Florrie Forde was the Australian born grand Dame of British Music hall. Whose career spanned Victorian variety theatre to entertaining the troops in Aberdeen in 1940. She died after the performance, aged 64. Her songs included- Hold out your hand you naughty boy, Down at the old Bull and Bush and I do like to be by the seaside. Here she gives us When we were strolling around town. Maurice Winnick was another Manchester born musical child prodigy. As a teenager he was a band leader on a transatlantic liner. He had a succesful career through the 1930s and 40s. He died in 1960. He plays a lovely version of The Waltz you saved for me. The Platters need no introduction and neither does the song- Smoke gets in your eyes. Okay its not forgotten but how often do you hear it directly from the original 78?

The great Hawaiian slack-key guitarist, George Kahumoku Jr. is on the show this week! George has been playing around the Hawaiian islands for decades, but came to prominence in the 80's and 90's when Dancing Cat records started putting out records by the foremost traditional slack-key players. George was one of the main ones, but we were alo introduced to his brother Moses, Sonny Chillngworth, Keola Beamer, Ledward Ka'apana, Barney Isacs, Cyril Pahanui, and quite a few more. George is one of the greats of the fingerstyle slack-key genre - he grooves, he has an amazing voice, he plays almost exclusively on a 12-string and he has his own F-tuning that suits the style so well. The first part of this interview includes some really interesting Hawaiian history that was mostly news to me, so I hope you enjoy that! George is very active still and plays a weekly show on Maui called Masters of Hawaiian Music. He is also a multiple Grammy award winner, not to mention a celebrated farmer. His latest album is called Rennaisance Man, and he's also going on tour this fall around the western states. You can get all of that info at kahumoku.comListen to the accompanying playlist for this episode here, which features the artist's own music, plus many of the songs that were discussed during the show.This episode is brought to you by Izotope - check out their amazing recording software at: www.izotope.comThanks for your support, and your fearless host, Steve Dawson can be found at: www.stevedawson.ca

“Practice like you've never won. Perform like you've never lost.”I was recently invited to be a special guest of the https://www.andywangmusic.com/show/masters-of-hawaiian-music/ (Masters of Hawaiian Music in New York City). In the photo above, I'm in the center, seated between 5-time Grammy award winner https://kahumoku.com/ (George Kahumoku, Jr.) and master ‘ukulele instrumentalist https://www.herbohtajr.com/ (Herb Ohta, Jr.) We each played a solo set and then jammed together to close the show. (Play the embedded podcast player at 0:24 to hear a music clip.) Getting on stage is a lot like podcasting. It can force you out of your comfort zone. Playing alongside full-time professional musicians had my imposter syndrome running high too. After the show, a friend asked me, “How much did you practice.” My answer, “By myself? Quite a bit. Together? Not at all.” He responded with a socially distanced high-five. One of the greatest acoustic guitarists of all time, https://tommyemmanuel.com/ (Tommy Emmanuel) once told me to never practice in front of friends or family. “They'll get sick of hearing you play the same song over and over again. Please spare them and preserve their enjoyment of music.” True pros know the value of woodshedding. The term comes from the idea of going out to the “woodshed” in the back yard (or some similar, solitary place), and working at something, over and over again, until it's perfected. Practice with intense repetition by yourself. Then make it look like a breeze in front of people. That's a great trick! ISOLATIONTo perform with these legendary Hawaiian musicians was a dream come true. The universe has a wicked sense of humor though. Cold-like symptoms for one musician led to a positive COVID test. Organizing live events during a pandemic is not for the faint of heart. The tour ended prematurely with a bunch of postponed shows. The CDC says that I do not need to quarantine — just wear a mask for 10 days after the exposure. My family prefers that I not eat with them, prepare food, or wash dishes. I definitely don't miss the dishwashing. As I write this, I'm isolating myself in the basement for the week. https://giphy.com/gifs/southparkgifs-l2SpWTQyOaTnqrHzO (via GIPHY) PRACTICEIt's not all bad. In fact, my man cave has everything that I need. I've got my work from home set up, a TV, workout equipment, a camping mat to sleep on, and en suite bathroom. An air purifier and space heater keep me company. You don't need a potential COVID exposure to practice. We podcasters can woodshed too. AUDIO ENGINEERINGMake time to get better at your DAW My digital audio workstation for editing audio is Reaper. I read a post at https://www.facebook.com/groups/1331712173584193 (Podcast Editors Club) and learned that I can edit video in Reaper too. This blew my mind. Optimizing audio and rendering video in the same program simplifies my workflow and saves me a lot of time. I also learned that I can render an mp3 audio file and mp4 video file at the same time. Thank you Steph Fuccio for the tips. Try new plugins http://imp.i114863.net/x9Z9zd (Izotope RX Elements) is one of my favorites. I use Voice De-noise (reduces background noise) and De-click in almost every episode that I edit. When it's on sale, it's a steal at $20! I like Elements so much that I grabbed a promotion to upgrade to http://imp.i114863.net/15gjox (RX Standard). I frequently use Breath Control and De-Reverb. This week, I was editing an interview with a guest whose laptop mic resulted in harsh, high-frequency S and Sh sounds. A little RX De-ess worked like magic. It was the first time, I've used that plugin. See if woodshedding can make your podcast sound better and improve the overall quality of your show. You might find that you can do things faster too. In the meantime, from my...
