Eddie would go into the country, find the old timers and have their songs recordered, transcribed and translated. Together they brought the music back to the Hawaiian people and helped instill a new Hawaiian pride in all generations of Hawaiians. I 'll tell you what, if some of those tunes don't make your eyes start watering because of their timeless beauty, you are dead and breathing. The way Eddie tells it, that music healed Gabby and an entire culture. Pablus, you can't go wrong with IZ, When I was on my trip, I would be in a store and would hear a tourist ask a clerk "What is a good Hawaiian music CD?" Everytime they said Braddah IZ! Seriously, i heard that conversation at least four or five times. Another good DVD is IZ, a Man and his Music. Chongolio
