I have a great album Lund recorded -- "Call of the Coral Isles". It's a family band from the Paumotu Archipelago. I frequently spin cuts from the LP on the Flaming Ukulele Radio Hour.

I also have a 4 CD set titled "The Great Bill Sevesi" which includes several cuts written by Lund. Sevesi is the Tongan cat who brought first Polynesian music to New Zealand. He plays steel guitar.The CDs come from New Zealand. Sevesi is still alive and recording as recently as last year.

CAVEAT EMPTOR: while searching out the Great Bill Sevesi CDs, I ran across another 4 CD set titled "The Great South Seas Cruise" or something close to that. I bought both. Track for Track they are the same records.
