Mike Hanapi was a brilliant steel guitarist and vocalist from Honolulu, whose recordings with Kalama’s Quartet and the Ilima Islanders remain among the highest peaks of early 20th century Hawaiian music. Truly peaceful, tranquil and unique.
Hanapi’s gorgeous falsetto voice is backed by lush harmony vocals, like a lonesome yodel floating above an oceanside choir. The purely acoustic instrumentation of lap steel guitars, ukeleles and harp-guitars weaves gently in and out of the vocal melodies, creating fluid and harmonious layers and achingly beautiful blue notes. While past reissues of Hawaiian music from this era have focused on “hot” and up-tempo material, this compilation is entirely dedicated to the peaceful, deeply emotional and lilting style in which Mike Hanapi and Kalama’s Quartet excelled.
Most of these songs have never been reissued on any format, and have been remastered from original 78 rpm discs by Tim Stollenwerk, with beautiful clarity and presence.
12” black vinyl LP with reverse-board jacket, and 8-page full sized booklet with biographical notes, rare and previously unpublished photographs, and full lyrics in Hawaiian and English. Co-released with Olvido Records.

Not a chew toy
Size: Medium (VALUE 2-Pack), Style: Beef
This is not for a voracious chewer...not durable. My dog destroyed in a matter of minutes, so the cost was high compared to the time it lasted. Maybe my expectation was too high but was disappointed in this product.

Great chew toy- probably best for medium to normal size large dogs😀
Pattern Name: Large, Pattern Name: Large
We purchased this toy for our 140lb Akita. He loved playing with it and really loved the peanut butter inside. Unfortunately he is a big persistent/determined dog and was able to chew the toy to get every bit of peanut butter out of it !
I think it is a great product for a little more mellow dogs!

Survived a pitbull!
Pattern Name: Medium
I have bought so many fillable toys for my dog that didn't last. This is the only one that has not been chewed up by my pitbull. I put soft treats in it and squish them down. Keeps him busy and happy.
