Thanks Tikicoma! I've got a playlist of just over 10 hours of songs up now (225 songs to be exact.). I think I'll go with that & switch it out every month. Several listeners have set "Hawaiian Hi-Fi" on their presets, so that's good..:) I've noticed some of the broadcasters also have station Facebook pages you can "like" & they post LP photos,etc. I might start up one of those as well to highlight interesting LP covers or stories, or Hawaiian record related ephemera, etc.

The whistler you mentioned is Muzzy Marcellino. The LP is titled "Whistling On the Beach At Waikiki", Coral records CRL 757441. Interestingly, Muzzy is the whistler on the hit recording of the film theme from "The High & The Mighty:, an arrangement of which is included on the album.
