Warm and stylish slack key guitar from this Berkeley native. He’s got a light touch and an obvious love of his Hawaiian heritage. Plus he’s a fine singer. The man is a guitar master and stylish composer. Mix of originals and classic tunes w/hints of everything from Latin to bluegrass. Great music, guest stars include Cyril Pahinui, herb Ohta Jr, Dennis Kamakahi, Sally Van Meter. Play it all.
1. Upbeat, bright and sunny. So delicious.
2. Upbeat guitar and vocals w/guest Cyril Pahinui. Fun!
3. Sweetly relaxed Latin-infused guitar/ukulele duet.
4. Delicious dobro, guitar, vocal track. Relaxed & country-ish.
5. Slow and reflective, a lovely melody.
6. Medley of two instrumentals, relaxed and sunny.
7. Country-Hawaiian-folk, sweet song about family.
8. Great guitar duet, relaxed as an island breeze.
9. A Celtic-infused duet w/a warm and happy feeling.
10. Sweet instrumental ballad for his wife. Aww…
11. Flowing duet both complex and delicate.
12. Tribute to “the Island of Berkeley”. Bright & fun.
13. Sunny string interplay. Bright & relaxed.
14. So cool retro Hawaiian hillbilly. Midtempo, great vocals
15. A slow prayer, too short and very sweet.
