Slack key guitar and baritone ukulele.
Hula version.
Pauoa Liko Ka Lehua is about the beautiful flowers (Lehua) of Pauoa. The double entendre (kaona or hidden meaning) involves a girl with swaying hips.:)
I like the instrumental additions in the intro. I feel like the live band could perform that. I am feeling the build up during the vocals...we should talk in person soon!

I like the atmosphere you create here - there's something about this track that draws people to want to cover it. (I think it's the lyrics - they're really good.)
Heck, we could probably do an entire album of different people covering this one Gumbo track.

A cover of Iron Angel Forge's song from his 2009 RPM Challenge album, Not Forsaken. He is here at alonetone under the name IronAngel.
I haven't told him yet, though, so it's a surprise ;~)
This song is about me having weird OCD-esque things. Most of the instruments were played by me, with the exception of the drums which were played by Isaac, some vocaling by Olivia, yelling and other stuff by Jacob, Erik, Nikki, Erika, Nihco, and…
