The subject of Eddie Kamae videos comes up frequently in other threads, so I thought it might be a good idea to share some information about this topic.
All of the videos which Uncle Eddie & Aunty Myrna made, were done for use by Hawaii's Dept. of Education. Production was handled via a non-profit foundation. The Kamae's would occasionally sell the videos when they were touring and showing their latest films, but the videos were never sold by any retailer. Still aren't. :-(
Some of us were lucky to have purchased copies from them as each was released (mail orders were accepted by the non-profit foundation, for awhile). But I'm saddened to report that Uncle Eddie told me earlier this year that there is no longer a source for the Kamae films...he and Aunty Myrna are now "retired".
I sure hope they get bored soon, and decide to make another film!

Thanks for the info Auntie. I've heard wonderful things about the Kamae videos and hope to watch them someday. It's a shame that the work they put into these videos cannot be enjoyed by those who'd like to see them. Hopefully, I'll be able to view them somewhere in the future.
