This recording was made by Sol Hoopii's Novelty Trio in Los Angeles, California on October 12th 1927 featuring Sol Hoopii steel guitar, Lani McIntyre guitar, and Glenwood Leslie ukulele.

*"Twelfth Street Rag" was composed by Euday L. Bowman.

Sol Hoopii is the most famous of the original Hawaiian guitarists and was a key figure in starting the lap steel trend of the 1920's. After his professional debut in Honolulu with "Johnny Noble's Orchestra", Hoopii made his way to San Francisco as a stowaway on an ocean liner when he was seventeen. Later settling in Los Angles he would form his "Novelty Trio" in 1924.
