I'm waiting for someone to dig up Joe Pine's review of Arthur Lyman.

I had to look up the aluminum geo-dome. Built in 1957 and demolished in 1999, it was known for it's natural reverb

Was told by a Hawaiian guy who plays ukulele here, in fact he told a whole group of people at an event who were half listening, that when Ken Kaiser was building the Kaiser dome that the Hawaiian people did not like a white American building this in Hawaii.

He said that Kaiser could not get workers or supplies as the Hawaiian people froze him out, so he had to import almost everything from outside of Hawaii.
He had it all shipped in.

He went on to say that in reality the US military built lots of Hawaii up at that time.
The ports and stuff like that.
