If not mistaking. The old timers of Punalu'u and Kalapana say that Uncle Fred Punahoa wrote this song. Someone stole it from him because he couldn't read and write at that time. That's what is said.
Hi Fran, Led said he'll lend me copy of the LP. I'll have to figure out how to burn it into digital from my turntable. If you have a digital copy please let me know. When are you coming out next for a visit?
One of my fav Hawaiian songs, and performed by my favorite people! Check out Led and Lehua's mother's recording of "Punalu'u" on the album "The History of Slack Key Guitar" (Cord/Hana Ola Records). What fun!
Oh man, Fran - this is the ultimate! I have never seen or heard sister Lehua before. Magnificent the talent in that one `ohana. My oh my. And you, Brother - you keep right up with them. Good for you. And good fun!
Awesome. You guys sounds great together. Ledward is among the world's top slack key players and the traditonal falsetto sung by Lehua is wonderful. Bravo!

Thanks for stopping by so soon after I got this posted. That episode of Aloha Friday in Downtown Pleasant Hill will probably always be my favorite.
