Yes, 8 track. We would listen to it as my Mom drove from Kona to Waimea or from Kona to Hilo and we would sing all the way, every song. I knew all the parts, the background, the instrument licks, the progressions, the crescendos; I found my Dadʻs old 45ʻs collection which included Elvis records which I would play over and over before. These were all the different kinds of music I was exposed to in my childhood. So were the Hui Ohana and C&K from my Aunty and Uncle which were played over and over and over; but I loved it. On the billyv.net website in the radio history it explains when I was REALLY exposed to Hawaiian Music, which was heavily at 16. Thru the years on the contemporary side there was exposure thru KKUA radio, but the traditional didnʻt start until 16 when I was working with Alapaʻi Abreau on KKON Radio. Then it was dive in head first to ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi and Hawaiian Music. It would continue with Krash Kealoha, but really blossomed with Skylark.

Lots of music that I like...but my love is for Hawaiian Music...the music that I really think would help the world become a better place...
