My Dad and Inspiration

This is my dad singing a Tongan song called "Katinia". My dad is the inspiration behind me wanting to pick up the guitar. I grew up with him always busting out his Ovation guitar and playing old Polynesian jams.

When we lived in Tonga and Samoa we didn't have much TV to watch and often the lights would cut out and to keep us kids calm my mom and dad would sing songs for us kids to fall asleep to. This is one of the songs they would sing

I thought it would be nice to tribute my 100th video post to my dad. Ofa lahi atu Tamai.

hope you guys enjoy.

I love this video. Totally takes me down to the good old days with the family, and when our Dad would get out his guitar and sing to us. Now that we've all grown up, I've learned to appreciate more the time we've spent together and our love for singing together. Thanks for sharing!
