You have sharp eyes. Mr Cooder has helped out several Hawaiian players
with his recording and playing expertise. He has been quite generous
with his time in this.

I went to high school with the bass player - how the heck did that kid
get that gig with those old guys? Ho.. the lucky bugga!

My dad grew up in Kakaako with those old guys. He neva wen like those
guys cause they was always smoking pakalolo. This must have been back in
the 40's.
