“Let
me tell you what rainbows are. Rainbows are caused by the sun's rays
passing through drops of water, and rays returning again back
towards the sun which causes the spectrum of color that we see. The
interesting thing is your back must be to the sun to see the
rainbow. Isn't that the way it is in our spiritual life? We often
only see rainbows when our backs are to the sun and we don't see any
sun at all.” —Mrs. Beverly Hyles (1929-2017), loyal
wife of Pastor

Lord grant me the PEACE to accept the things I cannot change;
Lord grant me the COURAGE to change the things I can change;
Lord grant me the WISDOM to know the difference between the two.

My Favorite Hobby: Steel Guitar
![]()
The most beautiful music this side of Heaven is produced by an amazing instrument called the steel guitar. The steel guitar is distinctive for Hawaiian music. Here's a few songs I've recorded in using the C6th tuning on a 6-string 1936 Rickenbacher Bakelite: Beautiful Kahana, Lovely Hula Hands, Sophisticated Hula, Little Brown Gal, Rainbows Over Paradise and Bali Hai. Here's the MP3 versions if you'd like to download them (right mouse-click to save): Beautiful Kahana, Lovely Hula hands, Sophisticated Hula, Little Brown Gal, Rainbows Over Paradise and Bali Hai. I also recorded Moon of Manakoora recently using the D9th tuning and Paradise Isle using the F#m9th tuning. You can download Moon of Manakoora here and Paradise Isle here. You're welcome to freely share my music with others. You can hear me play Hawaiian Music on a pedal steel guitar using an A7th tuning, which I recorded for my mom in 2001 before she went to be with the Lord in Heaven.
Pictured to the right is an Old Rickenbacher lap steel called the SILVER HAWAIIAN. It is made of solid chrome and is famous for it's horseshoe shaped pickup magnets. The most common Hawaiian tunings on the lap steel are the C6th and the B11th.
Bud Tutmarc is one of my favorite steel guitarists and has much beautiful Gospel music available (Bud used a C#m tuning on a 7-string lap steel for all his recordings).
I once met the great steel guitarist Jerry Byrd in Winchester, Indiana. He passed away at age 85 in 2005. Here's a video of Jerry Byrd at a much younger age playing Hawaiian guitar. Beyond The Reef is one of my favorite Hawaiian songs to play on the steel guitar. Here's some more videos of Jerry Byrd. Here are some videos of Hawaiian steel guitar. Jerry taught his steel guitar students that... "Talent is highly overrated. All the talent in the world means nothing if you don't have DESIRE." If you've ever heard Hawaiian music, then you've very likely heard Jerry Byrd's beautiful music. Thank God for the beautiful steel guitar!
The lap steel guitar is not that difficult to play if you're willing to stick with it. It is a very rewarding instrument to learn to play which cheers the heart's of others.
My Hawaiian Recordings (Pedal Steel, A7th tuning) - Music Page
The following three MP3 recordings are played on a Pedal Steel Guitar (E9th tuning), which is a much bigger and heavier instrument than the lap steel. ...
Music Makes The World A Better Place
By God's grace I have been able to record numerous steel guitar videos in 2010 and share them online. I have wanted to do this for many years. I am just a home musician, but I like to freely share my music publicly when I get the chance, but never for money. I used to play for my mom and her friends at the nursing home before she went to be with the Lord in 2001. Music makes the world a better place. I hope you will enjoy some of these as much as I have recording them...

Here's a photo of a dear lady, Ruth, playing a steel guitar with 8 strings. I've freely published an entire website for anybody who sincerely desires to learn the play Hawaiian music on the lap steel guitar. There's also lots of pretty steel guitar music to brighten your day.
David Stewart's Hawaiian Album 2001
Listen to Hundreds of Cheerful Hawaiian Songs
In 2001 I recorded a Hawaiian album
for my mother before she passed away to go be with the Lord later that year. I used the A7th tuning on a pedal steel guitar. I converted my C6th neck into an A7th , very similar to the ingenious tuning of Basil Henriques. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did recording them.Here's a very interesting person who's story and disability encourage me a lot when I feel overwhelmed with my peripheral neuropathy and neck pain and stiffness. Emily was born blind and has learned to play dobro and fiddle by ear. Her disability has actually become her strength in life. She has excellent pitch. I love her handcrafted dobro pictured on her website below, as it has NO frets. She plays by listening only...
Emily's Bluegrass
(Emily's dobro has no
frets because she's completely blind and plays completely by ear...
with pitch perfect)
'Front Porch Bluegrass'
- Free Internet Bluegrass Radio
(Note: I certainly don't approve of all
the music on this radio station, but there's much free beautiful
Gospel, country and bluegrass music. I'm teaching myself Dobro
and this has been very helpful to me.
I record
what I want using MixCraft software. Here's some
helpful
information on using MixCraft if you do decide to get the
program.)
