[nanigirl96744]

I had the honor to meet both Skippy and IZ at Waikii years back....an honor it was! Skippy loved my hula alaka'i and had the greatest hawaiian spirit. They both did! Both taken so young.life is so short lets not forget our culture

[freackykit]

Got this as a link from Al's website and just got to say WOW! As someone who doesn't understand a word of it...It is blowing my winter blues away, on it's now 5th play through (and doubt I have finished)...Thank you

Chris

[nocantell]

MAHALO!!!!

[hankakah]

They don't make music like this anymore, some people don't know how treasured these guys were. They've been my favorite all these years because of the traditional style and harmonizing, and the vocalizing of IZ. No can beat!

[MackS30303]

Great video of the Makaha Sons of Ni'ihau with Skippy. You can hear that golden voice of Iz with this beautiful song. Mahalo for posting.
