Alahelenui St.

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

Alahelenui Street is the name of the street my junior high sweetheart lived. A friend of mine, Toshio, had his license to drive. He'd pick a few of us to go joy riding each evening during our 9-10th grade years. The friends included Preston, Jeff, Irvin, Mark, and Sam. We would talk about the life of junior high schoolers, ride through the town, and drive past my girl friends house. We had so much fun. Alahelenui brings back warm and wonderful memories.

My father is one "cool cat". He is a music historian of the swing and bi band era. Most of my influences were from listening to what he listened to when I was a child. "Benny's Boogie" is written for my dad. It sounds a bit corny, but I don't mind. My dad introduced me to some great music. I am ever so indebted to him.

First Day of School

My dear friend, Sam, always met me at the corner of Halai and Haili street on the first day of each school year. We were dressed in new clothes, new school bags and supplies. Going to school on the first day of the year was a day I always looked forward to.
