My name is Machiko and I live in Japan. Is this song for sale?

[DouglasFrink]

@CanterburyCat Please feel free to use this song for non-commercial purposes. Have fun!

[f1racah]

wow, this is a sweet piece! i love the strum pattern and slides--so chill

[DouglasFrink]

@f1racah Thanks so much. I recently switched to an unwound low G, and it works great for slides -- no worries about squeaks.

[DouglasFrink]

@roflie Sorry I removed this, it looked like a dup.

[roflie]

the Rayters give this a collective thumbs up :)

[gvernon90]

I love this! What a cool idea to write this in Hawaiian. Very relaxing =]

[DouglasFrink]

@gvernon90 Mahalo nui loa!

[raychelaych]

very nice! and I love the translation!

[DouglasFrink]

@raychelaych Thanks, I think the translation is pretty close, but maybe someone who actually knows the language can correct any errors.

[tenayaguevara88]

fun with the hawaiian language! good feel to it! is there an effect you use to make it sound kind of ocean-y wavey?

[DouglasFrink]

@tenayaguevara88 The effect is called "still trying to figure out how to use garage band" :). Actually, the vocal track was recorded with the instrument track playing live, effectively double tracking the uke.

[missdorothybrown]

awwwww i love this!!! so well done!!! :)

[DouglasFrink]

@missdorothybrown Mahalo, so glad you like it!

[uke5417]

Very nicely done. I am now totally relaxed and smiling.

[DouglasFrink]

@uke5417 Thank you, very glad you liked it!

This is great! I like the picture synchronization, but it would be nice to see at least one picture of the composer... It's so peaceful. Thanks!

[DouglasFrink]

@elenaf8th Thanks. Sorry, but I think just one picture of the composer might have ruined it :).
