Thanks Greg. So it would seem that based on the number of entries this last year, there should still be a Hawaiian Grammy category????
It died in the consolidation of categories - none of the "regional" ones could have sustained themselves in a world of 40-per-year (that's why there's been no Polka award for a few years now).

It is definitely a negative to musicians who felt that awards validated their music career.
