Dreams of Hawaii. For uncounted millions of
people around the world it is the sound of a steel guitarist smoothly interpreting a familiar hapa-haole melody
that best conjures up those dreams of Hawaii. Images of lovely hula girls, sweet fragrant flower leis, swaying
palm & aloha for all. No musical instrument captures the romantic ambiance of Hawaii for more people than the
steel guitar. This anthology is about the dreams, about the beauty of the steel guitar. The instrument is heard in
its traditional hapa-haole role-playing melody while the other instruments provide the rhythm. The line up of
steel guitar players includes some of the greatest & most renowned musicians in Hawaii’s history: Alan Akaka,
Charlie K. Fukuba, Billy Hew Len, George “Keoki” Lake, Fred Lunt, Casey Olsen, Art Paralius, Bud Tutmarc, & Jerry
Byrd. The first 15 songs are pure instrumental magic. As a bonus we have included 4 superb vocal tracks featuring
Nina Keali’iwahamana, Gary Aiko, Yvonne Perry, and “Champagne Lady” Myra English. So close your eyes and
listen…listen to the exquisitely beautiful sound of the Hawaiian steel guitar…And start conjuring up your own
Dreams of Hawaii.
