Beautiful Hawaiian Music

This is episode eleventeen hundred three thousand and forty-three of Spinning My Dad’s Vinyl. 

I might as well say anything I want anymore, because according to the liner notes on this album, the featured artist played all 32 instruments and sings like Bing Crosby.

While the singer’s voice does bear a remarkable resemblance to der Bingle, I had two Artificial Intelligence platforms arguing about if anything about Jack La Delle is real. 

While I’ll of course cover that story in a while, there is no mistaking the beauty of the music on this record, which I can only prove - through photos and videos for myself - the beauty of the island nation it represents.

So get ready to hang loose, hang ten, then bid a sweet aloha in Volume 243: Hi-Fi Hawaii.
