Aloha,

I want to tell you how Hawaiian Music has affected my life.

It was many years ago when I first heard the voice and guitar of Pops Gabby Pahinui.

A friend of mine played his record, and my body and heart just stopped!

It was the first time in my life that I felt feelings that I did not know I had.

Gabby's music made such an impact on my life that I have just about purchased every song he has ever recorded.

The falsetto sounds of the Hawaiian voices to this day gives me goose bumps and a peace I have never experienced before.

Mahalo, to you for being Hawaiian, and Mahalo, for such a powerfull and wonderfull nation.

Irene H.
