I picked up this CD when George, Keoki and Herb were in NYC last year. I do not have enough Moses Kahumoku on CD and it's fun to hear him play. The CD features Mauna Kea Mosquito which some of you may have seen George perform finishing the song with a slap on the back of his neck. One correction though. All songs are instrumentals with the exception of No Ke Ano Ahiahi. That last cut left me hungry for more vocals from the Kahumoku Bros.
I have all of George's recordings -- and I studied a lot with him personally -- Sweet & Sassy is one of the two Kahumoku albums that I keep coming back to. I think every slacker should at least gine it a listen. Raymond San Jose
