Playlist - December 20, 2013

Last show before Christmas, so it was filled with the spirit of Mele Kalikimaka. Here's my new favorite holiday music video!
Aloha Christmas by Dukes of Surf

"Aloha Kaua`i" brings you the music of Hawai`i -- from vintage to new -- from my personal library of hundreds of vinyl albums, audio cassettes and CDs. On the playlist below, vinyl and cassette recordings are noted in italics.

Click on highlighted song titles for details (and free sound clips) of new releases. All CDs which are still in print, can be purchased at mele.com.
