Thanks for all these great videos! I build size 5's, and this is just one reason why I love the little guys!

Basil, I came ashore in O'ahu back in '84. I never left. Not only is the island beautiful, but the Hawai'ian people are great! When my wife and I moved into our house 11 years ago, our neighbours soon learned we had no relatives here. We were adopted into the Ohana.(family) I don't know where else that would happen. =Stefan=

wow, If only someone would put Marty's "Drowsy Waters" and "Ka-lu-a" on you would really see how well he can sing falsetto. He is fabulas.

Thanks for all these fab clips Basil. Much appreciated

Marty Robbins is said to be the only non-Hawiian who can sing an entire song in "falsetto". He made an album of Hawaiian songs sung entirely in falsetto.

One of the best singers of all time along side one of the best steel guitarists of all time. Lovely song.
