Zefren presents Maid of Honolulu

This is my oldest Victor record. The Label is from 1916 to the recording date of 1913. I love Hawaiian music and especially the early examples of Hawaiian music.




Maid of Honolulu, ku`u lei aloha
Me he hôkû ala na maka
Lipolipo ou lihilihi
|Lihilihi lehua ko`o wai o ka uka


Chorus:
`O ka loke me ka lilia
Hui na pua o ke awâwa
A`o `oe no ka`u li`a
Maid of Honolulu, ku`u lei aloha

Zefren, This pressing isn't from 1916. It's a pre 1914 pressing. It looks like three lines of patent info on the bottom of the label right? That pressing probably dates to about the time the number was recorded. Congrats!. It's nice a pressing, thanks for sharing it.

What a precious gem this is. I have heard Clyde "Kindy" Sproat sing this in a modern recording.

Mahalo for sharing.
