Going through the "t, u, & v's" today, most of what I pulled today is here because of it's obscurity.
"The Three Sounds of Kona" was made up of Kay Edsman, Executive Housekeeper of Kailua-Kona's Hukilau Hotel, Glen Auna, star of the Polynesian Review at the Kona Hilton, & Gene Pickett, on Hammond organ, performer at Reuben's. For some reason, the LP was recorded at Bill Hunter's recording studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I loved the back cover photo taken in the studio, I had to included it.

Many of us are probably familiar with steel guitarist Bud Tutmarc & his many, many Hawaiian arranged-LPs of gospel tunes. Obviously, THIS one is a bit "out-of-whack" with the rest of his rather staid photo pictures, but...who can resist the fake lei, fish nets & fake MONKEY...it's beautiful...and it's good for your soul..lol.
