Wonderful Hawaiian slack-key guitar and traditional vocals. This is total feel-good music designed to relax the mind and bring forth images of long sunsets, waving palms, wildflowers, and all the beauty of the islands.

*1. Bright and warm midtempo instrumental. Sigh….
*2. Lightly bouncy, sweet, and gentle. Too short.
3. Lazy, downtempo ballad w/a warm, nostalgic quality.
*4. Mostly midtempo Hawaiian jazz w/an expert touch.
5. Slow and lovely blend of vox/guitar w/an old-fashioned feel.
6. Warm, relaxed vocals. Melodic, downtempo and so pretty.
7. Midtempo, a wonderful example of his technique.
*8. Midtempo medley w/vocals. A warm, happy thing.
9. Bright, midtempo meander w/a nicely lyrical feeling.
*10. Midtempo w/fresh energy on a traditional sound.
*11. Fun, kinda-retro vocals and tripping guitar.
12. Slow, peaceful, almost sleepy w/gently warm guitar.
