    Mahalo piha e Steven. You are teaching me exactly what I want to learn. When I was growing up, everyone learned ukulele in 3rd grade. 50+ years later, I'm going beyond my 3rd grade class. Aloha nui loa, Maile

    *tears* I always love hearing you play this song because it reminds me of watching your mom dance hula to it. *tugging on the heart strings*
    Not to mention it’s a beautiful song and reminds me of being a kid back home.
