Early Hawaiian music had a head start. The earliest found Hawaiian recordings are from 1908, there are lost 1899 and 1905 recordings. The first Jazz recording was in 1917 and Blues in 1921. There were earlier “American Music” recordings that weren’t commercially available as Hawaiian music was.

When I retire in about a year, Iʻll likely shut down most if not all of my Social media accounts, unplug and enjoy life. I have a collection of over 6,000 Hawaiian songs and a world of books to read. If California happens, thereʻs lots of adventures waiting.
This Wiki page illistrates why we donʻt have Hawaiian music recorings before 1908 when the 4 min Amberol cylinder made their debut. The shortcoming of these cylinders is a plaster of Paris core that didnʻt hold up to humidity.
The Early 20th Century featured 3 primary companies recording Hawaiian music.Edison Blue Amberol (wax cylinders), Columbia and Victor. Iʻve been lucky enough to find at least limited catalogs of each. This gives me clues on where to look for the music
Sad to see it go. I played high school football in it shortly after it opened. First time playing on artificial turf (lots of burns). Been to lots of Pro Bowls, UH and high school games and concerts and other events. It was too big
