Happy Haole Tunes
This CD is perfect for your backyard luau as the sun is setting. Laced with tunes more on the mellow side, it will lend itself beautifully as background music for any tropical soiree or vacation. I put this CD on tape and popped it into the tape deck of our convertible to enhance our most recent vacation in Hawaii! "Hawaii's Greatest Hits" lilted through the air as we drove around the islands! Tacky? Perhaps. Did it make our vacation even more memorable and fun? Absolutely! I heartily recommend it!

"Lighten up, Snobz, & have a little phun!"
Kidd Squidd from Oracle, Arizona It's funny how some "collectors" or "music conosieurs" <(sp?) get their shorts in a bind when they smell somethin"phony".They're dyin' to tell the world about the "real thing" & how much they know about it. I know, because I've been guilty of the "snob disease" from time to time. I probably know more about the music of 20th century pop culture than most people on earth. But I've come to realize(I'm 56) that there's a lot of ways to judge music, and just because you know a lot about the history of a certain style of music (Hawaiian, f'rinstance), and have a huge collection of rare records, doesn't mean that a lighthearted & fun approach to said music (New Hawaiian Band) can't be a lot of fun. It's so important to have a sense of wonder and humor about it all. Music is a gift to us all from a higher source (God? Aliens? the ghost of Slim Gaillard's Great Great Grandpappy?...), and we should enjoy it and cherish it on ALL levels, including the lightheated, frivolous level. Then you'll find The New Hawaiian Band to be quite a fun ride. Aloha, you Sonic Dreamerz! Love ya, Baby! Kidd Squidd, DJ, Musicologist, Lover Of Life.

Classic Hawaiian
Bought this for my wife. Now she can't get it out of my CD player. Classic Hawaiian music. Sitting on your deck out back at night with a tropical drink in hand brings back FLOODS of memories of numerous Hawaiian vacations. This makes me want to go back!!
