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
Aloha Stadium officials aim to begin 10-month demolition in August
Iʻve had some luck finding digital copies of Wax Phonograph cylinder recording of Hawaiian music from 1909 - 1917 on obscure archives. Excluding the recording challenges, the music is awesome.
They’re going to grab more people that they shouldn’t to make quote. Like speed traps
I would guess that most of the people driving on Queen Ka`ahumanu Highway on the Kahala coast do not know it was named in honor of the favorite wife of King Kamehameha 1. This painting is by Louis Choris from 1816. She was approx 48 years old
The story of that bowl had me thinking back to 1978. I was living on Date St in Kapahulu about 3 blocks from Jack in the Box, going to culinary school at KCC, waiting tables at Nick’s Fishmarket in Waikiki and driving a 65 Impala. Won’t meet my first wife till the following year. Livin’ the dream
I’ve had this Pyrex bowl for over 45 years. I had it in my first apartment on Date St in Kapahulu in 1978. I think it came from my Mom’s kitchen.
Another interesting aside. The British didn’t send missionaries to Hawaii during Kamehameha’s reign he told Vancouver “these are my gods they are powerful beings who have helped me acquire this Kingdom and from this comes my reign”
Was just reading in Ke Kumu Aupuni that during Kamemeha’s reign there was a kapu on all fishing for 6 months. After which the next month was fish for all of his cheifs and their people and families. The remaining 5 mos was open season. This inspired good stocks of fish. Ecology
Hawaii is more vulnerable to climate change than most of the US. We need to share in the expense with people come and use our beaches and services.
Didn’t realize how difficult it is to change the password on a lot of pretty prominent websites and services. There’s no consistentcy.
Didn’t realize this after driving in both places until I really thought about, but Sonoma County is only 30% the land area of Hawaii County. Except for Hwy 101 in Sonoma, I think it’s easier driving on Hawaii Island. Lots of mountain roads in Sonoma.
