The (ultimate?) update for ya....
Thanks to you all, it seems all the songs are now accounted for.... MAHALO!!!
1- Mauna Loa - by The Krush (found!)
2- You are a Lady - by Country Living (not found)
3- Country Fire - by Lawai'a (found!)
4- You and Only You - by Countryside Band (found!)
5- Bottles and Cans - by Ron Kuala'au (found!)
I'm hoping to find the second song someday, but for now I really feel that a lot of dreams have come true by finding those so far, and of course there are plenty and more great songs out there, but these had eluded me for a long time.
I hope this helps a lot of you find them also, and thanks again for being so wonderfully helpful!

Here is most of the post, as it appeared before:
In the 1990s, I used to visit Hawaii a lot when I was engaged to someone over there, and bought a lot of the songs I heard on Hawaiian radio at Tower Records or Borders Music, but here are 5 songs I've never been able to locate or identify in all these years. Song One theme is Mauna Loa.... Song Two theme is hard to describe, just sort of a gentle paniolo-da-kine tune... Song Three is a romantic song describing a Country Fire girlfriend... Song Four is an upbeat jawaiian-like tune with an arrangement I love... and Song Five I've been told is by Randy Borden and Jon Osorio, maybe called "Bottles and Cans", but I cannot find it on Amazon to purchase or anywhere else either.
Any comments and information about these songs is greatly appreciated. I think you will love them too!
UPDATE:
song #1 - I was able to order MaunaLoa by The Krush from Mele.Com ! There is another great song on the Best Of album I bought too, called "Let Me Take You to the Mountain" which I am enjoying a lot as well.
song #2 - trying to locate
song #3 - was able to find (wooooot!!) but I was in a rush and so excited about it I can't remember where... ;P
song #4 - trying to find, and locate the title too... this might be the hardest one to acquire
song #5 - update: WHEEEEEEEEEEEE YEAH!! FOUND IT!! By chance another awesome fan saw this and sent me a bunch of great links and memories, and their son said this is called Bottles and Cans, not by Osorio and Borden, but by Ron Kuala'au! I hope this helps others who are looking for it too... MAHALO and Thank You! ^_^
And thanks again to everyone who is listening and helping, and I hope you are also enjoying too!
