Hold on to your seats folks, the award for this years Best Hawaiian Music Album Grammy is quite a surprise. Yes folks who would have thought that a Slack Key Guitar album could possibly win a Grammy Award……….Again? When I saw the list I thought I was looking at last years winners because for the life of me I can’t tell them apart anymore. Legends of SKG, Masters of SKG, Treasures of SKG? It’s all the same to me. I guess it’s what the world expects of Hawaiian Music. I thought having a Hawaiian Grammy would be a blessing, but it’s become more of a curse hasn’t it? How is this helping the industry progress? I hope I read the list wrong, but I don’t think I did. I hate to complain about it especially because I want everyone from Hawaii to find success, but it’s either time for someone to break the Slack Key Curse or change the name of the Grammy to the Slack Key Guitar award.

Congratulations Winners:
Treasures Of Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar
Various Artists
Daniel Ho, George Kahumoku, Jr., Paul Konwiser & Wayne Wong, producers
