From the stack of little records tonight, here's a rare selection of tunes with a little bit of Hawaiian flavor, released five years before it even became a state! I wish I had the whole original album to share with you, but I was excited to be able to manage a copy of this EP release featuring half the songs from the larger record. I'm sure that eventually the Menehuna Santa will bring me a copy of the whole record. In the meantime, please download and enjoy

(Have a look at those writing credits. Someone butchered the names pretty badly. Odd, RCA usually did a good job of such things.)
Thank you very much, Ernie.
