The song that came out a keeper is an old standard in praise of Queen Lili`uokalani. When I got to titling the video I hit a quandary: what's the name of this song? Led says in the video: "E Lili`u E" and when I check my music collection that's the title used by Cyril and Led and Leonard Kwan and Ozzie Kotani. But when I check Huapala it's "Lili`u E." So I pulled down my copy of "Hawaiian Music and Musicians" where the title is also listed as "Lili`u E." Further searches found citations in support of the latter title: http://www.hulapreservation.org/chant.asp?ID=10 and https://halaumohalailima.com/HMI/Liliu_E.html among others. Whatever the title, it's a fun song to play and even though it has been recorded many times I'm thinking one more won't hurt (grin): https://youtu.be/dS4LpUJZ1PQ Now that I think about it, I actually shot a version when we were on O`ahu last year. This one is solo so it's lacking that Ledward magic, but it was shot in the Lili`uokalani Botanical Garden in Honolulu: https://youtu.be/YTB0YJZVzYg Fran [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
