"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)

"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff

Welcome to Camelot Records nice to have you as a friend.

Jan Kurtis

Seattle's fabled Camelot Records makes its glorious return with this "best of" CD -- a disc that showcases some of the finest vintage 1960s R&B, Soul, and Rock 'n' Roll music ever produced in the Pacific Northwest. Included here are "long lost" gems of the widely esteemed Northwest Sound, nearly forgotten R&B rarities, previously unreleased sounds, and a number of tunes that (in their original 45rpm disc form) currently command mind-boggling values on the global collectors market. Like wresting an enchanted sword from a solid stone, Camelot has pulled off a grand feat that will thrill all fellow Knights of the Turntables. -Peter Blecha, Northwest Music Archives, 2009

In early October I wrote one of my latest songs called, “Wall Street Bail Out Blues.” Within four days of writing it, a video crew captured me playing it on the street at Seattle’s Pike Place Market and posted their video on YouTube. That video has now reached the attention of a writer for The Wall Street Journal who is writing an article about those who have written songs about our tough economic times. His article will be published this week and I’m excited to read it.

Who knows where this might lead? Call me an optimist but I have a feeling that this could mean that a few more seconds of that elusive fifteen minutes of fame might be coming my way.

It ain’t the cover of the Rolling Stone but it’s not every day that a writer from a major worldwide news outlet seeks me out to talk to me about my songwriting. That’s a huge validation of my efforts at staying true to my vision. I must be doing something right.

Follow your dreams.

Reggie Miles
