Plus, an interesting German release. "Go With Me To Hawaii" by The Samoa Serenaders, Cornet, no date. Love the cover on this one. I was really happy to score yet another "Takiti Ma: Intrumental Ukulele, Guitar & Co." record. I had gotten one many years ago and never really saw one again until recently, when I've managed to get two recently. This one is Volume 4, and like the others, it's nice Hawaiian style instrumental renditions of Tahitian songs. "Takiti Ma: Instrumental Ukulele, Guitar, & Company, Volume 4" Manuiti records, no date. "Hawaiian Best Album" by Ginji Yamaguchi, steel guitar. Polydor, no date. "Hawaii, Hawaii, Hawaii" by Hiroshi Wada (steel guitar) & The Royal Hawaiian Boys. Toshiba records, no date. "Buckie Shirakata Hawaiian Dance Party" by Buckie Shirakata & His Aloha Hawaiians. Teichiku records, Social Dance Series, no date. I don't think I've ever heard of the instrument "electone" before. Sounds rather like a cross between a piano & an organ. Yet, this is the second "electone" Hawaiian LP I've come across recently. Perhaps it went through a brief period of popularity. I seem to recall seeing a Jackie Gleason LP that may have featured it also. "Hawaiian Best Album By Electone" by Yuri Tashiro & Hawiian Group. Crown, 1974. This is a really curious LP. These are standard orchestral Hawaiian selections, but they are layered with various sound effects & a female narration describing various excursions, sights, including shopping, airport arrival, moonlight beach walks, etc. Put out by Japan Air Lines (JAL). "Blue Hawaii/South Pacific: JAL Travel Sound Series" by Mr. Y.K. & The Blue Strings. POlydor records, 1981. "Hawaiian Golden Hits" by Ethel Nakada. Toshiba records, no date. Noted singer of Hawaiian tunes from Japan. I like the cover on this this. First time I think I've run across coolats on a Hawaiian record. "Hawaiian Symphonic Mood" by The Polydor Symphonic Orchestra. Polydor records, no date. If you're interested in this type of music, you enjoy listening to my hobby online station "Hawaiian Hi-Fi", which is free to listen to 24/7. http://www.live365.com/stations/kaiwaza
