Aloha Everyone & Greetings from Tucson! :

I just discovered "Tiki Central" when I was researching Ernie Menehune and his recordings.

Before all the ugliness that happened this past weekend here in Tucson, I became the new

owner of the entire recorded works of Mr. Menehune on Wed., Jan. 5th of this year.

So that this mans recordings does not fade into the realm of obscurity, I am currently

restoring and transferring all of the masters to digital for future re-release. I have

been an ardent fan of Ernie since my parents borrowed an LP from our neighbors in 1968

('Round The Town With Ernie Menehune), and I am on the hunt for ANY info regarding his past

performances and recordings. If anyone could help me out on this project of mine, it

would be GREATLY APPRECIATED! Now that I've found a forum & possibly an audience for

Ernie's Recordings, I'll be letting everyone know the progress and subsequent date for

re-release of his 1st. LP on CD here at Tiki Central. To Tiki Central, Thanks Very Much

for your website & letting others know that Ernie's music & recordings will (hopefully)

see the light of Digital! Thanks Again!!!

Sincerely,

Frank Luna
