There is a cold snap coming, and that's a good time to dream of warmer climes, palm trees, Pacific sunsets, and Hula girls!
I've been listening to old records for almost sixty years. Most of those years have included Yaka Hula Hickey Dula. I never cared for that one, but it is cute, and probably sold a bunch of records. Many artists recorded it. Down In Honolulu Looking Them Over is a Unicorn record. It is extremely rare, and I have never seen or heard an original. I have it on a vinyl reproduction. Ukulele Lady is my pick from these songs. I first heard it when Arlo Guthrie recorded it in the early '70s. He did a fine job with it, but Vaughn DeLeath's recording is classic.
