Shane Shanon - Oh Akua

[wickedwahine76]

Oh Shane you are Wonderful......what a sweet gentle voice, I could feel your words.

I recall when this album came out, I bought it right away, i was only a kid in Waianae at the time.....I didn't feel the power in the Home Grown albums then, but I do now, I got them on CD made for me from my Mom for Christmas I cried it touched me so much.

I am putting you on my favorites..... Wow what a voice Thank you again...hope to hear more from you. Aloha nui loa, Sam

No need to apologize. Every nation has done its share of wrongs throughout our world's history. All we can do is learn from the past and determine to respect all, and look down upon no one.
