The condo in Maui had a terrific sound system. Searching through the radio stations we found a wonderful Hawaiian station, playing all Hawaiian all the time. It seemed like we had the radio on every time we were "home".
As every good tourist does, I had to bring some to the mainland with me. The King is of course, Izzy. The poor chap isn't with us any more but the one CD I bought is fantastic. New and traditional music.

The park ranger at Haleakala suggested I buy this one from Lei'ohu Ryder. It too is really great.
Lei'ohu Ryder "Lady of the Mountain"
Here's one of Izzy's big hits played live. A life cut too short.
