There are some real treats this week. Scroll down, down and you will find a series of videos from 1994. They are a special edition of Hot Hawaiian Nights - the 1994 Na Hoku Hanohano Awards nominees. A secret surprise. Segment #4 has Iz, Mel Amina and Roland Cazimero singing Nohili E.
But there are plenty other swell music videos, including the two I am starting off with. My sweeties, Duke, Shawn and Derek, making some of the best music you would ever hear walking down the street in Palolo. I think Derek is the engineer. You guys are the best, you know Auntie likes to brag on you.

Here’s my boys Duke, Shawn & Derek playing “Waiulu”, Aunties favorite, favorite love song. Shawn is playing bass! Duke is playing some way swell slack key and Derek, oh boy, he makes that 12-string sound so nice, and his vocals – well, let’s just say there are bunches of wet Kleenex in the trash can.

Ah well, `Alika, ah, ummm, well, the `ukulele playing? It is about where it was a while back. Two chords. No much practice. After winter is over, I promise to practice more. Wintertime makes my fingers dry and cracked regardless of how much lotion I use. Hard to play with cracked and bleeding fingers, Hard for my card making, too. I neva like get blood on my valentines.
I am a practice scofflaw. |

If we get the Doctor to prescribe a change of climate, will the insurance help pay for a small place in Hawai`i? i got no problem with change of scenery. By Thanksgiving I'm usually tired of winter already. Unko Paul |

For those who enjoyed Duke, Derek & Shawn playing "Waiulu", you might be interested in this little snippet of Clyde "Kindy" Sproat talking story about the mele. http://www.mele.com/hawaiianMP3s/2991_09.mp3 This is from his 2004 CD release, Na Mele Kupuna, which I think is one of the best all time ever Hawaiian recordings in our collection. The talk story is invaluable history. |

I can't wait to hear you play/sing, even if it isn't much. I'm sure you're better than you think you are. I think all musicians are talented in their own right, regardless of their skill levels. I support everybody who tries to keep music alive and well. I don't know what life would be like without it.
FYI, the first song i taught mhyself was "He Po Lani Makamae." If you disregard all the key changes and just play it in C the whole way through, it only uses C and G7. |
