George Xanthos has been a genuine ‘keeper of the flame’ on the Australian steel guitar scene for over half a century.

Jerry Byrd, Buddy Emmons, Speedy West, De Witt Scott and a never-ending line-up of Australian and international stars long respected his sensitive touch and tone.

This session, played in the style of the once popular Hawaiian dance hall groups, first saw the light of day back in 1963. Listen as George and his buddies swing into “The Pagan Love Song”.
