Good music. A nice version of Silent Night. It took a lot of effort to publish. Geo blocks and other obstacles. Better version of it that I have heard from anywhere in the US.

@thj I don't think I've ever heard it done on steel guitar before. (Which is pretty amazing given how much Hawaiian music I've heard and how common steel guitar is in the genre.)In fact, this version would be right at home in Hawaii.

@deirdresm I didn't know you lived in Hawaii. I've never been, but I like the vibe I get from there.

@deirdresm I was about to ask if you live anywhere near it. But nothing is anywhere near Hawaii. Formally a part of the US, but looking at the map, it's literally in the middle of the Pacific.

@thj Yep, pretty much 4000 km from anywhere. We sailed from San Francisco to Sydney 10 years ago, and our first stop was Hawaii. (Second was Tabuaeran, Kiribati: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabuaeran )

@deirdresm I haven't done that, but a guy from Norway sailed a raft to prove that maybe Polynesian peoples were the ancestors of the Native Americans:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kon-Tiki_expedition

@thj Yep, we’ve been to the museum in Oslo. Plus I saw the movie when I was a kid, very much influenced my life.

@deirdresm Wow!I guess this explains why you follow a Norwegian. I suddenly have big expectations to meet over here. 😅

@thj I’m part Norwegian, btw! And we have music interests in common, too.Plus married to someone half-Norwegian (his father was born in Norway). And we’re going next year!

@deirdresm Well, let me know if you need a deckhand for a ship!
