Talk:Guitar and Lute Workshop

Contested deletion
This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... The Guitar and Lute Workshop is of great historic significance to the State of Hawaii, having been a center of activity supporting the Second Hawaiian Renaissance in the 1970's as well as being the location of restoration for Queen Liliukolani's piano, which is now displayed at Iolani Palace -- being the only official palace in the United States. Members of the Guitar and Lute Workshop staff, notably, Keola Beamer, have played a significant role in the evolution and rediscovery of Hawaiian culture through Hawaiian music. The Guitar and Lute Workshop represents a musical link for Hawaii which is roughly equivalent to the C. F. Martin & Company or the Haight-Ashbury and the Fillmore West in the context of San Francisco history. --Johnson.s.erik (talk) 17:58, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
