Monkeyman, I know I asked you this question before, but I lost the email! Anyway, please tell me (again) the name of the artist who recorded "Hanohano hanalei" on the "Monkeyman mix CD" you gave Bong.

That is Ernie (Ernest) Tavares my grandfather. I have many of his unpublished songs and remember backyard parties with Uncle Freddie, Grandad Ernie and singing on his knee. He is also the voice in the Tiki Room in Disneyland (the rain chanter who speaks the fast chant).

Reading the other posts, Walter is not his son but my Dad might know who that is. His son is Jan. His wife (my grandmom) Lydia is still alive - 95.

Glad you enjoy his music!
