Mark, great sites! I highly recommend the Dancing Cat CD, "Masters of Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar (name might be slightly different, can't remember.) I can listen to it, over and over.

I was really fortunate in that my first intro to slack key was at a concert we put on at the Center for the Arts (now defunct) in Rhode Island, "Masters of the Steel String Guitar." The program is packed away, but one of the artists was from Hawaii and played slack key. i was hooked from then on. That same concert included Jerry Douglas on dobro. Oh, wow!
