It's amazing what you have built I also think it is safe to say you are the originator and creater of a new genre of music. For that, you can be proud!

Well, if you'll recall, the Smokin' Menehunes played at Sydney's 1st Birthday Luau back in 2003. That was 9 years ago and although a precursor to The Hula Girls, the SM's were already doing the Hulabilly stuff in their set. Here's a pic from that party. Spike ain't singin' no Hapa Haole - I guarantee it!
