Hello everybody.
Walter Aipolani here, brother Walter.
How you folks doing?
I like to do
a song, it's an old song, it reminds me of when I was a young boy growing up in Keokaha.
My mom [Gb] used to go to the breakwater and she used to go and catch aama crab and get
hawakiuki from the rocks and come home and make Hawaiian pancakes for us in breakfast time.
I
wouldn't eat that though because I don't eat that kind of stuff.
But my mom, she eats that with her coffee.
So anyway, Hawaiian music used to be playing on the radio all the time and this song I used to
hear when I'd be eating, you know, in the morning breakfast time.
[D] This song used to be playing,
this is an old song called Church in an Old Hawaiian Town.
It's written by Ilima Baker and I'd like to do it for you folks right now.
Live from the empty palace.
