    “Truly enlightening history of the Hawaiian steel guitar and how it changed the trajectory of music in America. I had no idea Hawaiian steel guitar players were traveling through the South after their introduction at the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco. Mind-blowing. Here's a great, shorter article on the subject: https://www.nypl.org/blog/2020/08/12/hawaiian-steel-guitar-resistance-hidden-history”
