For afficianados of the bizarre, I draw attention to a great new CD called 'Honolulu to Hollywood: Jazz, Blues & Popular Specialties performed Hawaiian Style' on The Old Masters Label. It is compiled by Allan Dodge of Cheap Suit Seranaders fame. The last track is a 1934 recording by Sol K. Bright who began his career as rhythm guitarist in Sol Hoopii's Novelty Trio. Bright was known as 'The Hawaiian Scotsman' and he would often accompany himself on bagpipes on his composition of the same name. His most famous song was 'Hawaiian Cowboy'. Although his 1934 rendition of 'A Wee Doech an Doris' does not include bagpipe accompaniment, it does have some sparkling electric steel.

Cheers, Stewie.
