Aloha Joe's Steel Guitar Hour | Where to Find the Recordings "1000 Pounds of Melody"The Kalima Brothers and The Richard Kauhi Quartette `Ukelele players alert: Michael Cord has done it again -- The Kalima Brothers & The Richard Kauhi Quartette, "1000 Pounds of Melody". Two-for-one of some of the greatest vintage Hawaiian sound on record. "Ukulele Legend" Jesse Kalima (and brothers) are joined by Julian Gasper on steel. Richard Kauhi, called "The Father of Modern Hawaiian Music" fills out his famous Quartette with Johnny Costello, Jimmy Kaku, Sonny Kamaka and vocalist and steel artist, "Lovey" Lui. This is FUN music, and lot to go to school on, if you're enlarging your 'ukulele repetoire. As Harry B. Soria says in his excellent liner notes "these performers are truly vintage Hawaiian legends". As always, Hana Ola Records has restored the audio and digitally re-mastered the 25 tracks in this recording from original sources; the sound quality is great. CD or cassette in your music store, or order direct from Cord International. HSGA * HAWAIIAN
