I'm looking forward to seeing (and hearing!)this film, but I have a question that someone here hopefully might be able to answer. I noticed that the soundtrack of the film appears to be on the Sony Masterworks label, not Dancing Cat. In fact, it does not appear that Dancing Cat has released any new albums since Uncle Cyril's "He'eia" (a great album, by the way!) back in 2007. This really makes me sad, because Dancing Cat is my favorite record label and I like every single album they have ever released. Does anyone know if George Winston has any plans to ever release more Dancing Cat albums? I've read that there is a whole album's worth of Ray Kane's music that was recorded but never released. I also wonder if they have live concert material of Led Kaapana and Uncle Cyril jamming together when they toured together about ten years ago. I would LOVE to hear one of those concerts!!!!! |

| Dancing Cat no longer has an exclusive distribution deal (as they used to with BMG, which is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Sony Music); rather than being primarily a record label, they now produce occasional projects and license them out to other labels, most recently archival material by Leonard Kwan, Ray Kane & Atta Isaacs, for HanaOla/Cord International based in Ventura, CA. |

I've seen the Dancing Cat vault...they've got LOTS of as-yet-unreleased stuff there.
When George Winston would bring artists in to record, he'd just turn on the equipment and let them play...or chat...or whatever. And all that stuff was recorded. Buried treasure, for sure!
Will we ever hear them? One can only hope... |

Forget the Disney vault - I'd rather go here:

Not released in my locality unitl 27th January! Almost nobody knows about Hawaiian music where I live, but there are a number of people who're fans of Mr Clooney!
The film 'O Brother Where Art Thou' had a soundtrack that got a swathe of young people interested in traditional American folk music. Who knows? Perhaps the soundtrack for this might get people interested in Hawaiian music. Fingers crossed! |

| I'm also hoping that this film will spark a lot of interest in Hawaiian slack key music. Then hopefully George Winston will open up his vault of treasure so that all of us slack key addicts can finally have a listen, too!! Many rock bands release small runs of archived studio or concert material to their most hard-core fans now, so why couldn't George Winston do the same?? |

| I've been hypnotized by Gabby Pahinui's music. Obsessed since seeing the movie. I'm hooked |
