Wow, what a voice! I'm new to the Uke (picked one up recently during my first trip to the Big Island) -- where can I find a recording of this? (Or similar music.)

Here is translation of the lyrics from Hawaiian to english: Beloved is my sweetheart, my close companion For whom the thrill of love is deep in my heart. You are like the Hawaiian rose Beautifully formed and dewy in the morning rain. I woo the sweetness I hold to my bosom A great treasure to my mind You and I are the ones who are strung together Like an unfading garland of love The story is told The thrill of love deep in my heart.
Absolutely love your playing and your singing. There seems to be a lot of Hawaiian music on different levels and for different audiences. You are sounding so very authentic authentic.
Awesome!
