The talented and creative duo of Hawaii's slack key scene -
Doug & Sandy McMaster - have been back in their studio on
Kauai. The result is a beautiful collection of traditional
slack key music played in Doug's nahenahe style with the
soothing sound of Sandy's voice telling the story of slack
key. Their love of the Hawaiian tradition of slack key and
their dedication to ho'omau (continue the tradition) wash
over you in waves. This release will treat you to 17
tracks of slack key guitar favorites, an ipu/Hawaiian nose
flute solo, and slack key ukulele all encompassed in the
embracing arms of Hanalei Bay surf.

Doug was obviously born to play Hawaiian slack key -- he
probably was a paniolo (Hawaiian cowboy) in an earlier
incarnation. Sandy is a natural musician as well as a gifted
storyteller. Listening to her weave tales of slack key and
Hawaii, you would never realize she's a very shy person.
She's found her voice in slack key.
Sandy's working on a special free gift for the first 200 CDs
purchased. The CD is selling for $12 for it's introduction
passing on the savings we made by using more eco friendly
jacket packaging.

Aloha! We've received many wonder-full email regarding the new CD. Mahalo for all the support! Here's a couple quotes that particularly touched us... following the quotes is a new program we've started:
quote:
"It's very different from anything else you - or anyone else that I know of - has done in connection with ki ho'alu. It's a great history of Hawaii for all. It's so accessible. Anyone, of most ages, can enjoy it and learn from it. You've done a really great service in the history of Hawaii and of ki ho'alu. Mahalo nui loa!" ... andy (from Seattle)
quote:
"You've more than publicly admitted / committed your life's ambition. ... it is undoubtedly one of the finest and unique contributions to the preservation of Slack Key music. I loudly applaud you for your sacrifices and efforts to produce this CD. Sandy's soft clear voice & Doug's always clean keying and selection choices are ... well, it's wonderful." ... glenn (from California)
Ho'omau Ki Ho'alu (Continue the Slack Key Tradition)
