Thanks to all for the kind comments

Nicely done...my only suggestion would be to slow it down a little and play it a little more nahenahe as someone else suggested (Ozzie plays it at around 90 bpm, you're playing at around 120 bpm). It's a natural tendency to play faster when you're performing, out of nerves, but intentionally slowing things down not only brings out more of the aloha in the music but also helps calm down the nerves as well!

Another Kotani one! Touch more nahenahe maybe?

Yes, unusual - but then so is a Yorkshire playing Ki ho'alu.

Aloha e Pete - please do not dismiss your playing as badly done. It is not. I do believe you do not realize how very good you are.  Thank you for permitting us to share in your music.

Me ke aloha,
