The Birthday Convention has come and gone it was a great day, not as many attended as previous meetings this year due to illnesses etc., but I think everyone enjoyed themselves. Pat Jones was unable to come due to another car accident fortunately I’m glad to say Pat was not hurt this time, but apparently the car is a write-off. I’m sure we all hope Pat is O.K. and that it didn’t shake her up too much. I would like to thank Beryl for once again organising us all, and also to the helpers in the kitchen especially Nora Bluck, Kath Hancocks and an extra thank you to Phil Mitchell which without his help the baked potatoes would probably still be in the oven. Hopefully there will be photos in the next issue. Norman Fletcher has not been too well this year, but after an operation Aldyth informed me that he’s now recovering and thankfully a lot better, look after yourself Norman, and we hope you will both be able to come to Brecon next year. Thank you to Doreena Sugondo for her memories of her time with Felix Mendelssohn, more in the next issue. The Steel Guitar world has lost another great steel player in John Hughey. John passed away on November 18, 2007 at the age of 73. He was a member of the steel Guitar Hall of Fame. Basil will write more details in the next issue. Welcome to all the new members, we hope you will introduce yourselves with a letter or even an article, we all like to hear about members lives, be it in a band or just an interest in music, or funny stories, basically anything. New member Mick Humbert came to the Birthday meeting and sang some rock and roll for us, which everyone enjoyed, hope to see you at the next one Mick. The back page is a montage of all 20 issues, celebrating 5 years of Aloha Dream. Well its time for most of you to rejoin, there will be a form in your mag if you need to rejoin, we hope you will all stay with us for another year. (Thanks Steve... you were first again.) Also what I’ve said to the new members applies to everyone, please lets have more input... This is your mag. Basil and I would like to wish you all a very happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

"My bedroom was stripped, my father's closet was Hawaii'sHawaii's GoldenGolden stripped. One person who is still employed with the Hilton Hawaiian Village Hotel was putting crystal ware into boxes." Jeff Apaka survived a tumultuous life and is now a zealous custodian of his father's legacy. A recent mul- timedia program commemorating the life and times of Alfred Apaka attracted a standing room only crowd at Bishop Museum. "I don't know why I do it, but he has been neglected." Hawaii's Golden Voice Alfred Apaka defined the sound and the romantic ambiance of Hawaiian music during the final decade of Territorial rule and the first months of statehood. The golden man with the romantic baritone was signed by Decca Records in 1950 and achieved even greater prominence two years later when he was "dis- covered" by Bob Hope during a gig at Don the Beachcomber's on Kalakaua Avenue in Waikiki. Hope featured him on national television that same year. Spots on other shows followed. It came as no surprise that hard-driving industrialist and developer Henry J. Kaiser insisted on having Alfred Apaka as his headliner in the Tapa Room at Kaiser's Hawaiian Village. Alfred Apaka & His Village Men opened there on September 15, 1955. Pauline Isaacs danced auwana (modern hula); Iolani Luahine danced kahiko (ancient hula). Benny Kalama was Apaka's musical director. It wasn't the first time that they'd worked together. They met for the first time in 1938 when Kalama was bass player and arranger of the Don McDiarmid Orchestra, and Jeffrey Apaka remembers it as the happiest Christmas Apaka, still in high school, came to an audition. of his life.

BIBLIOGRAPHY OF HAWAIIAN LANGUAGE MATERIALS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII, MANOA CAMPUS Second Printing, 1979 Photocopy, Summer 1986 ,i ~ Foreword Each year the Pacific Islands Program plans to duplicate inexpensively a few work papers whose contents appear to justify a wider distribution than that of classroom contact or intra-University circulation. For the most part, they will consist of student papers submitted in academic courses and which, in their respective ways, represent a contribution to existing knowledge of the Pacific. Their subjects will be as varied as is the multi-disciplinary interests of the Program and the wealth of cooperation received from the many Pacific-interested members of the University faculty and the cooperating com­ munity. Pacific Islands Program Room 5, George Hall Annex 8 University of Hawaii • PRELIMINARY / BIBLIOGRAPHY OF HAWAIIAN LANGUAGE MATERIALS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII, MANOA CAMPUS Compiled by Nancy Jane Morris Verna H. F. Young Kehau Kahapea Velda Yamanaka , . • Revised 1974 Second Printing, 1979 PREFACE The Hawaiian Collection of the University of Hawaii Library is perhaps the world's largest, numbering more than 50,000 volumes. As students of the Hawaiian language, we have a particular interest in the Hawaiian language texts in the Collection. Up to now, however, there has been no single master list or file through which to gain access to all the Hawaiian language materials. This is an attempt to provide such list. We culled the bibliographical information from the Hawaiian Collection Catalog and the Library she1flists. We attempted to gather together all available materials in the Hawaiian language, on all subjects, whether imprinted on paper or microfilm, on tape or phonodisc.

  • George Kuo Aloha No Na Kupuna - "Love for the Elders"
    LINER NOTES George Kuo Aloha No Na Kupuna - "Love for the Elders" George Kuo was born November 17, 1955 but his beautiful slack key guitar style dates back a generation or two earlier. "My feeling is in the older way of playing from the 1940s," he says. "For me, the old tunings with real loose strings and a real prominent bass have a lot of chicken skin (goose bumps)." George's feeling for the older style extends beyond technique to the more subtle area of attitude. "I like to play a nice relaxed, easy style," he says. "Not too much fancy stuff, keep it within the melody. Simplicity is really my style. I try to keep it simple but blend in the right notes. It's more delivering a message than playing runs." George first took up guitar in elementary school and ki ho'alu in high school. He learned by being around friends such as Richard Rathburn and Antone Gabriel, who liked to get together and jam. Antone played in the style of his grand uncle, Albert Kawelo, who had taught slack key legend Raymond Kane in the early 1930s. "When I heard Antone," George says, "I said to myself that's how I want to play...the old style." George's family was very supportive of his music. "My granduncle and aunt liked to hear that style too," he says, "and they really encouraged me." For a young person attracted to old style ki ho'alu, the 1970s were heaven in Hawai'i. A wide– ranging revival of traditional culture was in full bloom.

  • Statement of JOHN DE FRIES Hawai'i Tourism Authority Before the SENATE COMMITTEE on ENERGY, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, and TOURISM
    Statement of JOHN DE FRIES Hawai‘i Tourism Authority before the SENATE COMMITTEE ON ENERGY, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AND TOURISM Monday, February 8, 2021 3:00 PM State Capitol, Conference Room #224 In consideration of SENATE BILL NO. 916 RELATING TO TAXATION Chair Wakai, Vice Chair Misalucha, and members of the Committee on Energy, Economic Development, and Tourism: the Hawai‘i Tourism Authority (HTA) supports Senate Bill 916, which specifies that the $1,000,000 of Transient Accommodations Tax revenues currently allocated to operate a Hawaiian center and the Museum of Hawaiian Music and Dance may also be used to plan, design, and construct these facilities at an unspecified location. SB 916 is needed as we move forward to create the new Museum of Hawaiian Music and Dance. This measure will allow the funds to be utilized both for operations and development of the center. Currently, the law does not provide clear guidance as to how the funds may be utilized. The term “operations,” as found in the current statute, appears to restrict the use of the funds to the day-to- day activities of a center. Since this will be a new endeavor, we believe that allowing the funds to also be used for the planning, design, and construction will encourage more interest as we move forward in the Request for Proposal (RFP) process. It is for these reasons that HTA supports SB 916. We appreciate this opportunity to provide testimony.
