Here's another one that I like..

Bob Pauhaleokapioanaokeanuenueokalani Davis, with a smile as big as his name and the engaging personality came to Oahu from the the southern-most island in the Hawaiian chain, know to Kamaainas as "the Big Island." He typifies the characteristics of all island people - warm friendliness, talent and a sincere love and personal concern for all people, one to ninety-one! Unlike many young people, Bob has a particular fondness for our Senior Citizen and this has endeared him to all but especially delighted this group.

Doubling as host and entertainer at the Halekulani Hotel before going on to become Cruise Host aboard Matson's S.S. Luline, Bob's friends are legion. Honolulu columnist Eddie Sherman once reported: "One of Waikiki's Biggest Smiles: Bob Davis greeting guests at the Halekulani."

His dance interpretations of "Manaloa" and "Laupahoehoe Hula" are as famous and popular as his songs and we have included these two numbers on this, Bob's very first and long-awaited album.
