Harry Hougassian also recorded under the name "Harry Kalapana." He is (was..?) born in Greece and had a long career recording a lot of steel guitar music..Hawaiian, and other. He did a long series (I don't know exactly how many..maybe at least 12) LPs of "Hawaiian Guitar Around The World" LPs. You can run across some CDs of his material now &then...as "Harry Kalapana."I choose this LP to post because I love the great torso shot. OK, well, one of the best record jackets EVER, right? LeRoy Holmes also recorded an LP I REALLY love..."50 Hawaiian Favorites"...50 tunes, many oddly obscure, crammed into 6 medleys...love it. Just a great, old, and rare Hawaiian local pressing...featuring performers from the Hanalei Plantation on Kauai..The Holo Holo Trio & The Maka Trio..great stuff. |
