Some Hawaiian music, not sure If I got the spelling right, but I'm old and forgetful so please forgive.

Very nicely played. I enjoyed the music VERY much.

Regarding the title. You got it right when at :07 seconds into the video the title came up as "Ka'ahumanu". It would be nice for you to edit and correct the title in the title line of the video itself. That way people searching for this song could find your video. There are not many examples of this song on youtube, and yours is worthy of being found.

Thank you Norman for your point of view, unfortunately the mistake is on the Video titles itself and I would need to re-do the whole thing to correct that, so remain it must.

Hi James. Editing videos is very easy on YouTube. When you go to your opening page, in the upper right, just to the right of the word "upload" you will see a little gear icon. Click on that and it opens up a drop down menu. Click on "video manager" and you will see all of your uploaded videos. You will see the word edit by each video. Click on that and it opens up a page for you to edit the titles, descriptions and tags for any of your videos.

Thank you all for your very kind words of encouragement. I just wanted to remind everyone I make all my own backing tracks and normally retain them for a while. If anyone would like to try this song or any other I have on the Tube, they need only send a PM with an email address on it and I will send a copy of the track, no charge.

I have just been given 4 boxes of 78 rpm records and at first glance I can see Felix Mendelsohne, Roland Peachey, Tau Moe Trio, Harry Brooker, Gino Bordin Hawaiians,Len Fillis, The Coral Islanders, King Nawahis Orchestra, Roy Smeck, Manny Klines Hawaiians, Pale K lua and David K. Kaili

To name but a few. So it looks like I have a big transcription job on my hands and plenty of inspiration for the future.

James.

Norman,
As I said, I have 4 boxes, 24 records to each box, covering Hawaiian, Big Band, Jazz, Pop (original 78 of Bill Haley and the Comets Rock around the clock)to Debbie Reynolds (Tammy) plus Novelty Records.

I think I might retire again.

Hi James, it's been a while wince we chatted. Just too much on my plate the last few months. I've sent all my students home for the summer holidays, now I have some time to catch up.

I love the "Ka'ahumanu". I would like a copy of the track please. You probably still have my email, if not, let me know and I'll send you a PM.

Best wishes and thanks.

Sorry James. I'm out of town and using a keyboard that is awkward for me. I meant that you probably still have my email address!!!!!!!!

I'm just asking for a copy of the track above.
