Improved to Good Article status by Eagledj (talk). Self-nominated at 02:28, 8 July 2021 (UTC).
Article is a new GA and no close paraphrasing was found. Nom doesn't seem to have any prior DYK credits, please confirm if this is the case. Hook is interesting and cited inline, and sourced to an offline source so assuming good faith, but given the wording of the statement I'd like to see if possible the actual quote from the book saying it, just for accuracy's sake.

- Hi, Narutolovehinata5. Nom has no prior DYK credits. The direct quote from the Rumar source (p.29) is: "The instrument through which Hawaiian music made its most significant impact upon American music was the steel guitar, the first "foreign" musical import to gain a foothold in American pop music". I have a photo of the page which I can email you if you wish. Thanks for taking the time to review this. Eagledj (talk) 16:33, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
