Sorry I never got to meet Billy Mure. I have many of his albums, my fave is the "Supersonic Guitars in Hi-Fi", with the flaming guitar in re-entry on the cover. In fact there's a series of "Supersonic" albums. Also love "Fireworks", though I don't dig the cheesy background chorus. His Hawaiian stuff is also great (Pink Hawaii, Hawaiian Percussion), esp "Hawaiian War Chant" which I first heard from a CD-ROM of Hawaiian images and sound clips. I highly recommend anything you can find out there on vinyl, why his stuff was never reissued is ridiculous.

Going back through this thread, I only just now found out about his appearance at Hukilau...Man good thing I wasn't there I think my head would've exploded!
