Mike Hanapi was a brilliant steel guitarist and vocalist from Honolulu, whose recordings with Kalama’s Quartet and the Ilima Islanders remain among the highest peaks of early 20th century Hawaiian music. Truly peaceful, tranquil and unique.
Hanapi’s gorgeous falsetto voice is backed by lush harmony vocals, like a lonesome yodel floating above an oceanside choir. The purely acoustic instrumentation of lap steel guitars, ukeleles and harp-guitars weaves gently in and out of the vocal melodies, creating fluid and harmonious layers and achingly beautiful blue notes. While past reissues of Hawaiian music from this era have focused on “hot” and up-tempo material, this compilation is entirely dedicated to the peaceful, deeply emotional and lilting style in which Mike Hanapi and Kalama’s Quartet excelled.
Most of these songs have never been reissued on any format, and have been remastered from original 78 rpm discs by Tim Stollenwerk, with beautiful clarity and presence.
12” black vinyl LP with reverse-board jacket, and 8-page full sized booklet with biographical notes, rare and previously unpublished photographs, and full lyrics in Hawaiian and English. Co-released with Olvido Records.

Great for workouts
Size: 10.5, Color: (110) Summit White/White/Khaki Base
I bought these shoes for home workouts, both lifting and aerobics. They're very stable, have the perfect amount of cushion without compromising stability, and are comfortable. They run a bit small; I'm usually a 10, ordered a 10.5 and my toe is at the end. They're snug but not tight and seem to have a good amount of room in the toe box. I'd recommend these.

My walking shoes
Size: 8.5, Color: (418) Blue Smoke/White/Nu Blue
I bought these last year before a vacation when I knew we'd be doing miles of walking a day. I had ZERO blisters breaking them in and immediately walking 10k+ steps in them. Now they still get a lot of wear at home for outings when walking will be involved. No issues, very comfortable, would recommend!

Don’t pass these up!
Size: 9, Color: (673) Tourmaline Pink/Summit White/Maroon Mist
I’m 67 years old, 5’3” tall, and weigh 117 pounds. I bought these shoes to wear during my daily “walking workouts “. When I first tried the shoes on they seemed too firm but I decided to give them a try and I’m glad I did! The cushioning was excellent and there was ample toe room. The color of the shoes is the same as the picture - and is really pretty.

Love them!
Size: 10, Color: Enamel Blue/White/Illusion Green
I love these shoes! Lightweight. Got a 10. True to size. My feet are a bit wide, and these are comfortable. I ordered another pair! Compared to shoe store prices, this was a deal.
