Ka Pua o Hawaii. Written by Eddie Alkire, 1936.

Arranged for Eharp and played by Bill McCloskey. Played on an original 1949 Epiphone Eharp. The first of more to come as I document the compositions of Eddie Alkire, inventor of the Eharp and Eharp tuning.

Thanks Joe,

for a first attempt, I'm pretty happy with it. Working on the next one now. The goal will be to record all of Eddie's compositions starting from 1935. Next up is "On a South Sea Isle" which has some really interesting changes in it.

The fun part is being the first to record these works, that time has forgotten. If you are interested in the music to learn it yourself, I posted it to the thread in the non-pedalers forum. This is the one I'm working on next:
