this comes up when i google Steve's name..from a 2005 post...

The Month of June finds us a wee bit on the sad side as we recognize the passing of two musicians who supported our Celtic Scene here in Hawaii. First word was from Hank Cramer regarding Steve Guthe, "I'm sorry to pass along the news that Celtic musician Steve Guthe of Seattle died in April of a massive heart attack. He was 50 years of age. Steve played hammered dulcimer and banjo, and made several St.
Patrick's Day trips to Honolulu over the years to play at Murphy's, O'Toole's, the Irish Rose, and Kelley O'Neil's. He had many friends and fans there in Hawaii. When we reach Fiddler's Green, I'm sure he'll be waiting there for us."
