[Shewolfen]

this is cool, I wasn't looking for this song and not familiar with it, just found it on a related link to something else, but coincidentaly I was planning on watching that movie today, and also a newer version of Hurricane with Mia Farrow... thanks for posting this nice performance and the info on the song :)

[MangoDaVille]

@Shewolfen What a nice somment. Wow, didn't know about the new version ~ all I wanna know is that I want to go to the imaginary Manakoora one day ~ not so bad to live in one's imagination. Will look out for Mia's version. Thanks!!! Johnny

[JesseTinsley]

Very enjoyable! Thanks for the vocal, too, a song almost always played as an instrumental. Beautiful.

[MangoDaVille]

That's so very kind of you to drop in and post a very pleasant and encouraging comment! We treasure your friendship. It appears that our undercurrent of musical desires are parallel. Please feel free to voice your choice. Can't always get to all requests but try. The more gorgeous the song the niftier!

Hi Postduster. Wow, thanks for watching. Began learning steel seriously about two years ago. Alfred Apaka was smoooooth. Moon of Manakoora is a profound fantasy, full of imagination and creativity. Steel guitar is utter magic and tropical. Palm trees, palm trees, hula maidens and so forth. Don't be a stranger. Please rate and favorite the song and you'll get notice of any new videos. Be doing some more steel stuff soon.  (Can also recommend instructional dvds) Alohaaaa! Johnny Pal

[Postduster]

I enjoyed your playing very much. When did you start playing the steel guitar? I love the Moon of Manakoora since when I first heard Alfred Apaca(sp?) sing it.

Don't tell Johnny but Panchito likes Patron tequila - I don't drink not so much, "hiccup, hiccup" your amigo, Panchito "snorrrrrrrrre"

[cputb1]

Love it!

'Scuse me! Waitress? Another one of these drinks with the little umbrella in it please.

I think I'll stick around here a while.

[MangoDaVille]

Yes, go no further, and welcome to the mystical, magical island of Manakoora! One Mai Tai coming right up, with two umbrellas and a big slice of pineapple. Your waitress for the evening is Rose Marie. The drinks are on the house today, tomorrow and forever in the MangoDaville Lounge in beautiful Manakoora where each customer is royalty. You are also guaranteed to find your soul mate here! Alohaaaaaaaaaaaa, Johnny Pal

[cputb1]

What a warm and welcoming reply! Thank You.

I'm sure that I'm gonna enjoy snooping around through the MangoDaVille archives.

Hey Rose Marie, sit down for a second and take a load off.

[bushey26]

Aloha Johnny Pal,

I think Panchito is trying to steal the steel playing away from you. He is not taking his eyes off of you.

I see lots of beautiful smiles on you again.

you are the one that is gifted.

I've always kinda wondered how people got such a harmony out of hawaian music. another 2 strings seems logical lol. i've played with anywhere from 3 to 6, and 12, but never 8. i'll have to give that a shot if i can get my hands on a lap steele or something.

[MangoDaVille]

Hawaiian composers of yesteryear were very gifted and heartfelt writers. Some of that stuff is really gorgeous. I just prefer the 8 strings for a fuller sound. Its all about the tuning C6 which is low to hi, ACEGACEG. Hook it up and make a video! Thanks for da post, Johnny

[QChord4Fun]

Beautiful music Johnny, very enjoyable listening. Thats as close as I'll ever get to the Islands. Have a musical day, Gloria

[MangoDaVille]

Mahalo nui loa Gloria for da post! (Muchas gracias in Hawaiian). Still waiting for your maiden voyage. Regards, Johnny Pal

Boy that has that old timey 1930's royal Hawaiian, tropical, polynesia feel - the good ole days. Captivating!
