That song was written by my cousin, Uncle Jerry for his sister, Aunty Inet, who lived right behind our house in Kahalu'u, Oahu. Next to St. John's By The Sea, Episcopal Church and across from the old Pineapple Hut that is no longer there. Her son Keanu, was also my classmate in the old Preschool at the Ho'okano Hall, Kahalu'u Elementary and King Intermediate. My Grandma was Abigail Awa Ho'okano Gonzalez. Grampa was Filimeno Gonzalez and Dad was Tim.
I remembered waiting for olamana play at liliokalani Palace down town and it was pouring rain that day, the next day Robert passed away it was so heart breaking rest in peace my braduh braduh
That is heavy my friend. I grew up on Kauai, and as you well know, this song is part of the Hawaiian culture like Hank Williams songs are part of the traditional Country music culture. Oh how this song takes me back in time. Back to a simpler life of no worries except , get waves? Get wahine..? Go get a plate lunch with lomi salmon , poke and Lau lau! Oh the taste of the luau leaf inside the lau lau! No matter how much I live on the mainland , no matter how many years go by , this Haole..will never be home until I am back in the Wailua Homesteads. Thank you
Oh what sweet memories and feelings this song stirs up. Left Molokai in 1997 and moved to Washington. Takes me right to grandmas house up mana'e cleaning ele'ele outside or helping her cook dinner for the ohana and she would have the radio playing Hawaiian music just like this. Love it, mahalo! 💗
One of them songs I’ll stop what I’m doing…and, fall into reminiscing of growing up in the 70’s and 80’s. Such a great time to be a kid in Hawaii Miss those days dearly🎼🎶🎵🫶🏽🤙🏾
The first time I heard this song was live. 1979, at the Hau’ula Mele. Haunting. I still can’t believe Robert is gone. And that was more than forty years ago.
My heart goes out to all the victims, and friends and families involved in the fire. I lived on Oahu from '68-'77. The most beautiful place I've ever been to, and beautiful people. Aloha! Btw, we lived in Kahalu'u in '71-'72 in a home my dad designed and we all helped to build. View of the ocean, and jungle all around. So incredible! My father died a few years later over there, (Kailua) in a car accident. I guess all good things come to an end.

A calling to those who grew up in Lahaina, Maui and had to leave for economic reasons after the great fire of Sepy 8th 2023.

This video is actually of a flight we took from Maui to the Big Island.
