I learned that Hawaiian men began singing in the falsetto style way back in the early 1800's--because women were rarely around to sing those high parts.
Our favorites of his are the traditional Hawaiian language songs. I shared a video link of him performing one of his originals below.
The planetarium has these space age comfy chairs you can melt right into, absorb the sounds, and observe the virtual night sky above as it rotates, slowly. Pretty cool. Another favorite, Cyril Pahinui is scheduled to play there later this year.
The fig jam project worked out well, and the figs keep coming. In other fruit news, there will be mango jam, chutney, and salsa preserving in my near future. I do enjoy utilizing what is growing all around us. It's like some crazy dream.

Can you try to make some fig newton type cookies w/ your bumper crop?
Sounds like a wonderful concert. And your fruit bounty is fantastic!
I love it! This is enough to get me on a Hawaii music kick. I don't know much about it though, just like Bill Lincoln Aliiloa and a couple others that ended up on my ipod. Love it love it. Need to make a playlist.
Any of the Pahinui family members, Led Kaapana, then there's Jawaiian music... Like Katchafire. It's been fun, learning and listening to new and different genres.
I guess we could, not really a newton fan. Was imagining butter cookies with a smudge of fig mixture in the center, though.
Watched The Descendants again - getting more out of it every time. Send jam.
