Just to throw in my two cents, Hawaiian music was HUGE in the teens and twenties. It's hard NOT to find a Hawaiian-themed tune on early Victrola, Columbia and Edison records. Titles like, O‚Brien is tryin‚ to learn to talk Hawaiian, My Waikiki mermaid, They're wearing ‚em higher in Hawaii, and Hello Hawaii, how are you? are all in my collection.
