Lani Mcintire; The Eddie Bush Quartette; With Instrumental Accompanim
Lani McIntire (sometimes spelled Lani McIntyre, 15 December 1904 - 17 June 1951) was a Hawaiian guitar and steel guitar player who helped to popularize the instrument, which eventually became a mainstay in American country and western music.[1] He played frequently with his brothers — steel guitar legend Dick McIntire and bassist Al McIntire.
Lani McIntyre and his Aloha Islanders
McIntire achieved fame playing with Sol Hoopii in his "Novelty Trio" before heading his own acts, "Lani McIntyre and his Aloha Islanders" and later, "Lani McIntyre and his Hawai'ians." His work with Jimmie Rodgers pioneered the Hawaiian guitar sound that laid the foundation for the steel guitar as a standard country instrument, influencing the likes of Hank Williams and Elvis Presley.[2] As leader, McIntyre released dozens of records between 1935 and 1950, for the American Record Corporation (1935), Decca (1937-1942), Sonora Records (1944 - 1945), MGM Records (1950), and Columbia Records (1950).[3]
EDDIE BUSH QUARTETTE
I remember seeing Eddie with Lani McIntyre at the Hawaiian Club and other locations / restaurants with my family--how special those times and days of music were. [BTW--it was a Fender Telocastor blonde neck electric guitar not a Stratocastor...just want to be accurate here from my last post.]
