Listening now April 2020 and loving these videos. When I was stationed in Pearl Harbor in 1985, I listened only to KCCN radio though I am a native Texan who happens to be black (not of African descent.) My introduction to Gabby Pahinui was when I visited a record and bookstore in Waikiki called Jelly's. The store clerk was playing his music from a pizza sized record (can't recall the name of those large records) and when I asked the name of the musician she offered to make a cassette copy. 😊 I still have the cassette to this day though I don't have a cassette player. Again, many thanks for making it possible to listen to and to view the performance of this more traditional Hawaiian music.
Oh, Uncle Dennis, how much you are missed!! Oh and there is George Kuo on the end.& little short Uncle Eddie Kamae. These videos are precious. Mahalo, Kokua Films
This one's a real treasure. Dennis Kamakahi, a younger man then with Sons of Hawaii, playing one he wrote and which is one of my most favorite songs. In later years, he would record this song with Hui Aloha, with his own son David taking a solo on 'ukulele. Chicken skin! Thank you for presenting this vido.

It’s so long ago, a young teenager listening all night long to close friends playing music n never drank beer.
That's George Kuo, another fine player and artist, on that 6-string also, doing the guitar solo.
