I'm consulting with a playwright here in Seattle who is developing a radio play about Chang Apana - his life and the times and world in which he was an officer. Said playwright will be in Hawai`i later this month, talking with staff at the HPD museum, and a couple other resources I've connected her with.
My primary area of research for the play will be finding appropriate music, the kind that would have been heard in Honolulu in Apana's day.
Any suggestions, recommendations, thoughts, research resources, etc., would be greatly appreciated - either about the music of the era or about Apana.

| Hey, Retro. Talk to Patrick Perkins. He plays the old stuff, he's a Honolulu native, and he's right here in Seattle. Plays the old kind of steel, too, on a National Tricone. |

Andy Iona, Lena Machado, Ray Kinney, Dick McIntyre, Lani McIntyre, George Kainapau, Kalama's Quartett, Sol Ho'opi'i. There are many more of course, but if you can't get material from the list above..... well, let's just say you are a bit too picky.
You can find music from many of the artists listed above from Bruce Clarke's company Cumquat Records.

There is also a 4 disc set you may also want to check out.

You also might want to talk with Michael Cord at

Good luck, sounds like an absolutely wonderful project. |
