A Hawaiian Life

By Kahumoku, George, Jr.

0 - Default Title
Description
George Kahumoku, Jr., the Hawaiian slack key guitar player, is a superb story teller. He has always wanted to write some of these stories down, and finally has. If you've had the opportunity to see George in concert, you may have heard some of them, or parts of them. They are highly personal, and distinctly Hawaiian. George was raised mostly by grandparents, and in some respects he is like a Hawaiian of a generation or two earlier. But he is also a thoroughly modern fellow who's traveled the world, played music for the Queen of England, and gotten a mainland college degree. He has even been known to carry around a notebook computer from time to time. These are tales of poverty and tough times that illustrate the difficulties of growing up Hawaiian in a modern western setting. But more than anything, these stories will make you laugh. This is principally because of George's sense of humor and his ability to overcome life's obstacles with an upbeat attitude and good grace and above all, a very traditional spirit of Aloha.
