A Hawaiian music break....The music of Lani Mcintire and Dick Mcintire,,,,,,,,,,,

Lani McIntire (also known as McIntyre)

Lani McIntire, 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.

McIntire achieved fame playing with Sol Hoopii in his "Novelty Trio" before heading his own acts, "Lani McIntire and his Aloha Islanders" and later, "Lani McIntire and his Hawaiians." 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.

McIntire and his band also did a lot of work with Bing Crosby, notably on the original version of Blue Hawaii as well as Sweet Leilani, which was popularized in the 1937 movie, Waikiki Wedding, and won an Academy Award. McIntyre appeared in the films Dreams of Old Hawaii (1944), You're the One Rose (1943), Maui Chant (1943), and [[Paradise Isles (1943).

Dick McIntire

Dixon Ka 'aihue McIntire (04/06/1902 - 05/20/1951), made his mark as one of Hawaii's greatest steel guitarists. Dick recorded over 300 records backing Bing Crosby, Frances Langford, Ray Kinney, and Lena Machado, mostly on the Decca label, as well as featuring his own group, the Harmony Hawaiians. Dick McIntire's recordings embody the beautiful tone, perfect intonation, and above all the heart and feeling of a consummate Hawaiian steel guitarist. To this day, he still inspires many steel guitarists to emulate his beautifully expressive, distinctively legato style.
