TIPS & TUNING TECHNIQUES

 

 

Beginners (cont’d)

 

 

We recorded a song called Hawaiian Honeymoon in the mid seventies using Hawaiian G which was Tony Blackburn's record of the week on BBC Radio 1. The record was played once per show for a week. We were told that being Tony's record of the week was not good, because all the other DJ's would make a point of not playing it. It was just a little game they played. That was the trouble with music in the seventies – just one radio station for popular music and if the panel didn't recommend your record for the playlist you might as well throw the whole production run in the waste bin.

 

 

You'll be able to hear Hawaiian D on 'Thank God for The Wheel' and 'Walk on Water' on the new album.
