Have you met Paul before?
How is everything in the Southland?
Yes, Paul is a warm friendly person. We get together with him whenever we are on Kaua`i. He is also an instructor at Led's Waikiki workshop.
Come down some Tuesday evening to play with us at Kaisen's Restaurant in Oceanside.

| It's always a treat to be able to get down South to Kaisen's. Anyone else in the neighborhood should check it out if you're in the area. Lots o' great players and always a friendly group full of aloha. When my Disney project quiets down I'll be more free to drive the 119 miles from the SCV on a Tuesday. |

If you start with Pachelbel's Canon, that's all you need; that dang song seems always to last at least 3 hours, so you might even have to cut it short.
Teresa Bright has a nice vocal arrangement of Lei Aloha Lei Makawae on an old album i borrowed. I wrote up a nice arrangement for it in taropatch. |

If there is anything left after several hours of the Canon, you can always go into Led's version of Kokee to fill up the rest of the time. Seriously, Kokee is one of the most beautiful songs I know. Arrangements of it have been discussed in a prior thread. Fran Guidry gave me the clues to come up with an arrangement that works. Taro patch-fifth fret barre to start.
Aloha,

But Koke`e is a mele pana. Seems to me love songs would be more appropriate. I am not dissing the song by any means. To Paul and I it is one of the most beautiful and poetic songs ever. It may be just me, but if I was getting married, I would druther hear love songs to me (or a woman) rather than love songs to a place, unless somehow it was "our special place".
Sorry. I don't mean to be the wedding reception police like Kihei de Silva.
I like E Nei. That is remarkably beautiful. |
Me ke aloha

| Instead of Koke'e try another one by Dennis "Promises". Its easy to play, pretty and right on topic. Or did someone say that already? |

All great notes. I'm very grateful for all the input. It has enlightened me in many ways.
Anyone heard of "Ke Aloha Ihiki Mai?" Attributed to Malie Kalaukoa and Chas. K. Hopkins, it has some lovely words listed in the translation. Don't know the melody yet. I'll have to plunk it out and find it or look for it on disc or iTunes. I found it in "The Complete Hawaiian Music Collection," published in 2000 by Warner Bros.
As for Pachebel, my brothers and big sister played a guitar quartet for our little sister's wedding last summer. Little brother picking out the main melody on a 12-string, me echoing in Open-D slack-key, big sister strumming the next round lightly and building on a nylon string, and big brother strumming on his Takamine 6 string to hold us steady & keep from speeding up. It was hard to stop once you get it rolling...Kinda like George Jetson on the treadmill with his dog Astro: "Help! Jane! Stop this crazy thing!"
Not too often The Jetson's gets mentioned in Taropatch, I bet...
...always a first time.
