An oddity, this "How To Hula At Home" LP comes with a single sheet demonstrating the movements for "Love Hula Hands." However, the entire LP is instrumental....and since the hula is an interpretation of the lyrics, in Hawaii, one doesn't hula to instrumentals...hum..:) This is a BEAUTIFUL LP by Sam Makia...probably the most beautiful instrumental of "Sea Breeze/Puamana" EVER. It has been release under a few different titles & covers, but I present this because I rather like this sort of psychedelic jacket. But seriously, if you see anything by Sam Makia..get it. I will occasionally have a vivid dream where I'm in some old or strange area of an unknown city and come across a huge old thrift/junk store. Some thousand year old owner says "Oh yeah, there are TONS of old records upstairs..please, take what you want..like .50 a piece." And I go up & find a WAREHOUSE of dusty old LPs, start going thru them & start finding Hawaiian/exotica records that I NEVER heard of, had NO IDEA existed and, in fact, seem too strange to be real. My heart is palpitating, my palms all sweaty..I finding TONS of stuff. Eventually, I'll pull a really odd one out, that seems just TOO strange to be real..and in a lucid moment, I realize it CAN'T be real, and I am, in fact, dreaming..and I have one sad moment looking around the warehouse of fake records, before I awake. I tell this story, because for me..this is ONE of those LPs that I would have thought COULD NOT exist in reality..I mean the title is "Hawaiian Exotics: Adventures of Steel Guitars" by Poss Miyasaki & The Hawaiian All-Stars...can't be real, right? And there are North American totems on the cover...it just CAN'T be real...and yet it is...and it's a great album to..two steel guitars, wordless "ohhing" chorus, great stuff..and I'm totally awake!
