Well, as we continue our "Plucking Around The World" odyssey we come to the slide guitars and ukeles of Hawaii. This album is one of 100 or so I picked up in an Op-shop (thift store) mega-crawl on the weekend (50c each or 5 for a dollar!!).It had the wrong cover with it which I dutifully scanned and added to the package before I realised my mistake. The image you see came from the net, so is lamentably tiny. The vinyl is in good condition, however, and the playing is first class.
So, if you are enjoying a southern hemispere summer pour a chilled Mai-Tai, hop in the hammock and soak it up. All your poor, shivering Northern Hemispherers will have to turn up the heater a couple of notches, close your eyes and use your imagination...

Great Mr. S!
In fact I debated posting a similar album by a group called The Waikikis today called Midnight Luau.
It's mostly Beatle covers done Hawaiian style, will get it up soon as a companion piece to this one. Stop by, might be something there you don't already have.

Thank you! I'm sitting in my office and listening to this so I can pretend that it is not 10 degrees Farenheit outside. It's working pretty well.
P.S. I found a pretty decent large size cover photo, if you're interested. It's at: http://www.mikebonnice.com/collection/collection-Pages/Image413.html.
super post third island i Positively love it :)
Many thanks. Spring is coming.
Following twilight58 I should say that the Havaii host has made some modifications in adressing, so the right link for the face cover of the LP is as such
