  • 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.

  • The Pleasures and Rewards of Hawaiian Music for an 'Outsider'
    12 Living in Hawai‘i: The Pleasures and Rewards of Hawaiian Music for an ‘Outsider’ Ethnomusicologist Ricardo D . Trimillos Foreword I first met Stephen Wild at the 1976 Society for Ethnomusicology meeting in Philadelphia. Since that time we have enjoyed four decades as session- hopping colleagues and pub-crawling mates. In regard to the former, most memorable was the 1987 International Council for Traditional Music meeting in Berlin, where, appropriate to our honoree, one of the conference themes was ‘Ethnomusicology at Home’. It is this aspect of Stephen’s service that I celebrate in my modest effort for this festschrift. In 2006, the journal Ethnomusicology produced its ‘50th Anniversary Commemorative Issue’, which contained the essay ‘Ethnomusicology Down Under: A Distinctive Voice in the Antipodes?’ (Wild 2006). It was an informative and at times prescriptive account of the trajectory for ethnomusicology in Australia. I found the essay a most engaging exercise in personal positioning by an author within a historical narrative, one in which personality and persona were very much in evidence. Inspired by the spirit of that essay and emboldened by its novel approach, I share 335 A DISTINCTIVE VOICE IN ThE ANTIPODES observations about ‘doing ethnomusicology’ where I live—in Honolulu, Hawai‘i. This brief and personal account deliberately draws parallels with our honoree’s experiences and activities during a long career in his ‘homeplace’ (Cuba and Hummon 1993). The pleasures of Hawaiian music in California My first encounters with Hawaiian music were not in Hawai‘i but in San Jose,1 California, locale for the first two decades of my life.

  • A Prairie Home Companion”: First Broadcast (July 6, 1974) Added to the National Registry: 2003 Essay by Chuck Howell (Guest Post)*
    “A Prairie Home Companion”: First Broadcast (July 6, 1974) Added to the National Registry: 2003 Essay by Chuck Howell (guest post)* Garrison Keillor “Well, it's been a quiet week in Lake Wobegon, Minnesota, my hometown, out on the edge of the prairie.” On July 6, 1974, before a crowd of maybe a dozen people (certainly less than 20), a live radio variety program went on the air from the campus of Macalester College in St. Paul, MN. It was called “A Prairie Home Companion,” a name which at once evoked a sense of place and a time now past--recalling the “Little House on the Prairie” books, the once popular magazine “The Ladies Home Companion” or “The Prairie Farmer,” the oldest agricultural publication in America (founded 1841). The “Prairie Farmer” later bought WLS radio in Chicago from Sears, Roebuck & Co. and gave its name to the powerful clear channel station, which blanketed the middle third of the country from 1928 until its sale in 1959. The creator and host of the program, Garrison Keillor, later confided that he had no nostalgic intent, but took the name from “The Prairie Home Cemetery” in Moorhead, MN. His explanation is both self-effacing and humorous, much like the program he went on to host, with some sabbaticals and detours, for the next 42 years. Origins Gary Edward “Garrison” Keillor was born in Anoka, MN on August 7, 1942 and raised in nearby Brooklyn Park. His family were not (contrary to popular opinion) Lutherans, instead belonging to a strict fundamentalist religious sect known as the Plymouth Brethren.
