However, currently its my understanding these very rare disks were recorded in New York City or at the 1904 St. Perhaps more info has come to light on the details of these disks. Hear the sounds of the very first commercial recording session of a Hawaiian band! The Royal Hawaiian Troubadours perform “Aole Wau E Paoina Iaoe” on this 10.5 inch blue shellac American Record Company 78 from 1905. The first Hawaiian music recording session ever! Enjoy the sounds of a very young Jerry Byrd! I may be mistaken but I believe most of you will be hearing these lovely sides for the first time here.

But this very special disk has Jerry shining on two classic instrumental Hawaiian Steel Guitar solos!Īlthough I was able to track down one of the country disks relatively quickly after hearing of their existence it took a full six years to find Jerry’s Hawaiian steel guitar solo disk from this session! I am not currently aware of any CD to LP reissues of these tracks. Six of the eight recordings were originals and county music covers featuring vocals by Ernie.

These sides were also issued on the Montgomery Ward label in the following months. They recorded and released 4 78RPM singles for the Bluebird label in late 1940. The Happy Valley Boys was a county duo comprised of Jerry Byrd (then Gerry) and guitarist / singer Ernie Cornelison. Today I’m thrilled to be able to share steel guitarist Jerry Byrd’s fist ever recorded solos.
