Aloha Kakou,
It's my honor and pleasure to fill in for Auntie Wanda and do the Monday Morning Youtube Videos For The Week while she and Unko Paul are vacationing on O'ahu. I never realized how much work it is to do this, until now. We all owe Auntie a debt of gratitude for doing this every week. I apologize in advance if I post some video that she has already put up, but if that happens I'm sure you'll enjoy seeing them again anyway.
So here goes!!
Let's start out with a beautiful chant by Charles Ka'upu with some music by Hapa and some great hula.

As the title to this video says, this really is a marvelous hula. Led by Kumu Hula Sonny Ching.

Anelaikalani recorded her first self titled CD at the age of 12 way back in 2000. She just released her fourth called "E Mau No" this June. Check her out.

A couple of videos taken by yours truly. Aldon Sanders on 'ukulele and Stan Meidinger from Santa Cruz on bass were asked to entertain customers at a store here in Santa Cruz. The store was featuring the jewelry work of a artist from Kaua'i. So the store owner thought it would be great to have some Hawaiian Music for the shoppers. Wish all stores would do that!! You get a brief glimpse of the store owner herself serving Mai Tai to the patrons. Now that's customers service at it's finest.

A series of three 'ukulele videos made by a woman named Natalie. The first one just singing "Dream a Little Dream of Me" ukulele so simple, so sweet. The next two I thought were very interesting, comparing two different sets of strings on the same uke. Can those of you with trained ears tell a difference and how would you describe that difference?

Gotta slip in a little humor. For those of you on facebook, Fate Yanagi has her own page. I think she is looking for new friends. Time to move on, I guess.

A little talk story from Eddie Kamae and then Keonepax does his version of Edie's composition, "E Ku'u Morning Dew".

One of our favorite places in all the world. Sitting under the Keawe Tree out on the veranda at "The House Without A Key" at The Halekulani Hotel. A drive into Waikiki while we are staying on the windward side would not be complete for Ku'u Ipo Denise and me, without going there to see Kanoe Miller dance.

Let's take time to remember and enjoy two of the greats of Slack Key guitar Ray Kane and Sonny Chillingworth. The beautiful 'ukulele artistry of Peter Moon and from way back the man of all strings, Roy Smeck. Be sure to check out the innovative "Four Track" recording at the end of the Roy Smeck video.
