Album Notes

With soothing, traditional sounds of Hawaiian slack-key guitar (ki ho`alu), lap-steel guitar, and slack key `ukulele, HE MANA`O KO`U IA `OE is a mix of instrumental and vocal selections.

Born and raised in Hawai`i, Harry attended the University of Hawai`i were he studied classical guitar. After many years of playing rock and roll, he became interested in slack-key guitar and began studying with ki ho`alu master, Raymond Kane. He furthered his study of Hawaiian music by learning Hawaiian lap-steel guitar from Jerry Byrd.
