A very nice Hawaiian LP from Likelike Weisbarth who sang at "Pat's At Punalu'u" on the North Shore of Oahu island. I used to play this one a lot when I worked in both college and professional Hawaiian radio.

Lion Records put out this compilation of earlier material. One side is by Lani McIntyre, the other by Hal Aloma full orchestra. The Lani McIntyre stuff is out there is several forms, but this is the only time I've run across these particular Hal Aloma full dance orchestra recordings..usually it's just a small combo. Hal's big band swing arrangement of "Kuu Lei Makamae" is particularly nice. Pretty jacket as well.

"OK, Madge, let's go out by the driveway and shoot us a Hawaiian record cover picture." Another photographic treasure from Starday Records of Tennessee.


Paradise is a state of mind.
