A Tale of Two Bigsbys: "Sweet Leilani" Live at Retrofret Vintage Guitars

Retrofret is honored to present A Tale of Two Bigsbys: Part Two! This time, the last known Bigsby "Larry" is accompanied by its eldest living relative: the first ever Bigsby instrument, Paul's personal lap steel. Built from parts he accumulated during his time at Crocker motorcycles, this special little piece of aluminum was the start of something much larger. Now, for what is likely the first time ever and likely the last time for the foreseeable future, the literal bookends of Paul Bigsby's prolific career can be enjoyed together in harmony.
Our friends ‪@raphaelmcgregor1‬ and ‪@JasonLoughlinMusic‬ return accompanied by ‪@jenhodgebass‬ and ‪@matthewavedon802‬ to perform "Sweet Leilani." We hope you'll take a moment to share in the joy of guitar history with us!
We had planned to release this video of soothing Hawaiian style music as a summer treat, but sadly the people of Maui have had so much of their home destroyed by a sudden wildfire. If you'd like to donate to help the people of Hawaii secure food and housing, please follow this link: www.hawaiianco...
