Not sure if Wanda has posted this one or not she is usually WAY ahead of me in the Video department but I hate to admit how long I have been a fan of Arlo and always at Thanksgiving But when I was looking for a You Tube of it I came across Waimanalo Blues that I really enjoyed not sure what it is from but here it is

| The clip is from a TV show that was about a high school on Moloka'i it only lasted a season or two. Was one of the best shows ever cause the local actors spoke real kine pidgin. The USA folks couldn't keep up with the dialog. The show deals witgh real teenage problems and stuff li'dat. |

I also like Arlo. He posted a very nice original tune about my home town of Haleiwa. The song was originally posted as Haleiwa Blues.

Yeha, Nani! Now that is a kanikapila. Any kine, erry kine. Can tell just having good fun, all sorts of folks. I think it is a thing of beauty.
One thing what bothers me about Arlo's film is that he says he is there to entertain and then plays Waimanalo Blues. Maybe I am reading more into the song that should be, ahdunno, but it almost seems sacrilege to me to call it entertainment. Well, then maybe he shoulda played the Motorsickle song. But since it was a TVhow maybe the director or producer told him what song to play.
Please don't get me wrong about Arlo -- I like him and have liked him since I was a hippy folksinger in the old days. But not for Hawaiian stuff. So now maybe I can understand what Hawaiian people may not like me or Paul singing Hawaiian music.
It is a great dilemma for me. That is why that one time I posted the thread about if we are kakaroaching the music, which yes we are. Conversely Duke and StudentAcct and Petah Boy etc. all complain no one for jam Hawaiian music.
Yikes. No wonder my brain is all confuze-icated. |
Me ke aloha
Malama pono,

I do not know if I agree or not. I think music is for the enjoyment of the person who listens or preforms it. No one owns a style or type of music. All music is ever evolving sometimes for the better sometimes NOT I for one do not care for Jawaiian but then again I am not a very big fan of Reggie either. It is OK in it's place but not all reggie all the time and I get so tired of Rap I could scream. But then my husband is not a big fan of Classic his idea of Classic is Clapton so around it goes. Me I just love to listen to the wonderful sounds that some people can pull out of a little bit of wood and some strings. It is really kind of amazing when you think about it.
As for Waimanalo Blues I think a lot of folks that live on any coast line find meaning in that song I know I do.
AH well bigger brains than mine will have to sort it all out cause I am Hawaii bound in 11 DAYS.
