So many Hawaiian albums in Apple music have the date of re-release. I’m changing the one I find to the original release date. At least it will be correct in my collection.
Have this classic from 1951 in my collection.
George Kainapau became a falsetto phenomenon in the 1930s when microphones improved the ability to hear the singer’s voice. He was known as “Hawaii’s Falsetto King”

This entire Trump administration is at the peak of their career, all in positions with power they could never had dreamed of. Does anyone think they will ever do a single thing to cross him?
Secured a copy of Nina 1844. Very rare and hard to find. I have found record collectors on the mainland have very limited knowledge of Hawiiaijan music and are willing to let stuff go for a pittance.
Conservative count from our protest Saturday was 750. The counter person started at the bottom and moved up the line, but a lot of people were still coming behind her. We were about 1/4 of the way up and it got very crowded.
Governor Green was on the morning news. Seems to have the best handle you can in the turmoil we’ve been thrown into. The legislature held back a large fund and will have a special session in a couple of months to fill the cracks they best they can after the federal budget comes out.
They’re talking about this next storm coming our way. We only got 5 min of rain from the last one. Would like to see at least a little more rain.
The scene of the crime. This is where I proposed to my wife in 2005. Hōnaunau bay. We were Married 1 year later. We stopped by today to recall that day and share the story with our grandsons

When I was a kid, my Mom would have a Kentucky Ham shipped to us in Hawaii (it wasn’t cheap, but was a lot a meals). It would arrive a couple of weeks before Easter and just hang in the house. Everything smelled like ham for a while. BTW, she would also go all out for the Derby. Mint Juleps and all.

Just got an email that Kona’s only used book store, Kona Bay Book, for almost 20 years is closing. Bummer. Could always find a long lost book in there
It was interesting seeing the repairs in this very old canoe in the Wa’a hālau at Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau. I have repaired a lot of canoes in my day. This is a very old school type of repair
For today’s “get our Grandsons out of the house and away from devices” field trip, we went down south to Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau national park haven’t bern since the Covid era. Lots of history. I went here for an elementary school field trip many moons ago.
The Farmers Market in Capt Cook, S Kona was busy for a holiday. We picked up some veggies and had a really good Ka’u grown coffee.
