Beautiful album cover.
It was long standing custom that musicians would wear all white at performances in Waikiki.
I've heard more than a few old timers complain about those all white outfits. lol. Everybody said they were a pain, and expressed relief and gratitude when they went out of style.
You'll still see the Royal Hawaiian Band wear all white with a red sash every now and again for Parades and such.
Thanks for sharing Rick!
Aloha,

Re: Tiare no Tahiti …. Byrd, Isaacs, Akaka
Does anybody know if Augie Goupil's recording is the first or original recording of this song?
That would make Danny Stewart the first steel guitarist to play it on record.
I don't know for sure, but would have thought that recording was 1937 or 1938...
