Aloha kakahiaka kakou apau! It is Mele Monday! Time to start your week by watching some fine videos. I am sure you will find something you enjoy. Just in time to make the list this week are a couple of videos of Fran Guidry playing with some guy who plays slack key fairly well. Well actually his friend plays guitar about as good as anyone in the whole world. EVER. His name is Led Kaapana. Enjoy listening and don't forget to leave comments for those who uploaded the videos. They welcome the feedback.

No surprise to see what (deservedly) leads off the list - eh, Wanda: no can use that track EVERY week now!
Also a treat to hear the latest from TP'er Mark E; nicely played, Doctor! |

Happy to see Arlo doing Haleiwa Farewell on the list Wanda. Haleiwa is my home town and when I heard this tune I just had to learn it. When I play it out folk seem to take to it. Not real slack key but it has that nice easy feeling. It is in drop D if anyone is curious :)
Amy G. also does a very nice song about Haleiwa. |

I just might put Duke's mele "Ho`ole`a Slack Key" on the list every week. One never knows.
I think that Haleiwa Farewell sounds very similar to Isa Lei. It sure reminds me of Isa Lei.

I like that idea -- Theme Song. After all, the title of Duke's song is exactly the reason for my Mele Monday list -- to bring joy, to make pleasure and happiness. And besides which, who could EVER get tired of listening to Duke play ki ho`alu (and Derek's bass, too).

Hahahaha I'm totally burnt out on hearing & playing "Ho'olea Slack Key" I need to distance myself from it for a couple of years so I want to hear it again. As for Wanda? She can do whatever she likes with it because it's their mele. Maybe I should tab it out for Paul so I can avoid playing it a little longer LOL Don't make it a theme song bumbai I gotta boycott the Mele Monday list. Time to start trying to compose new material to create a buffer zone. |

I completely understand, Bruddah Duke.
I think everyone here understands why but try this experiment someday:
Record a song just after you have learned it well and have bonded with the melody.
Then after you have played over and over for some time record it again. The differences will jump out at you.
I think it is best to put familiar music on a shelf for a while, forget it, and return to it...however, if you want to get that magic back again you probably have to listen your first recording. |

| I think of Dave Brubeck & "Take Five." After all these years of playing it, there is no way he can play a gig without including it, yet every time I hear him live, he does something fresh with the song. |

Same is true of the whole "Kind of Blue" album by Miles. Even after 54 years, I'm still learning from it. As my knowledge of jazz theory rises a notch, something on the album that I was not aware before will pop out at me. |

I'm absolutely positive your experiment would hold true Bob.The thing is that my situation was the exact opposite. For the last 2 years every time I practiced or worked on the composition I played it with variations. Mixed and matched verses. Added or subtracted. So I guess it was always fresh. When we recorded it it became one set arrangement. That's why I quickly got too much of it
Gregg & Jack: I can't relate to what you guys are implying. Listening to Gabby recordings is always fresh for me. Reason being not just because Gabby is my favorite & biggest influnece. Most times on Gabby tunes there are a host of legendary musicians on that same recording. Sonny Chillingworth, Atta Isaacs, Cyril, Peter Moon & Ry Cooder.......sometimes almost all at once!!! The music is so busy so every time you listen to the same recording you might catch something you missed before.I always encourage my haumana to listen to Gabby because no 2 slackers will come out of the song with the exact same take on it. For instance I'll take this lick from Gabby, that one from Sonny, another from Atta & oh shoots this lick from Cyril is pretty nice etc etc. Another slacker listens to the same track & prefers other licks from the above mentioned so our renditions are different but work perfectly well together. |

| Eh, Duke! I'm agreeing with you. The more I listen, the more I learn. I never get tired of Gabby. His music constantly amazes me. |

Whatever you want my Dukie dear.
But I can still listen to it myself every day and you'll never know except your count of how many people watched will slowly climb. That would be me watching over and over. Maybe I'll have Paul figure out `ukulele accompaniment for me to play, lol. |

Mele Monday, week of 25 June 2012
