I know this is not 'slack key' per se but it is so familiar towards the 'culture', I love it!

"   The name Kaʻau Crater Boys refers to Kaʻau Crater, an extinct volcano above the Palolo Valley "

I see a few comments re: Hawaiian guitar – just want to point out that the lead is being played on a ukulele, for what it's worth.

The Ka'au Crater Boys were great, and I'm glad to see this relatively obscure (on the mainland, anyway) now-defunct Hawaiian group on RP. This group deserves a lot of credit for making more traditional Hawaiian music "cool" again to the younger generation in Hawaii in the 90s. Jake Shimabukuro's first band, Pure Heart, grew out of this renaissance. And no matter how you feel about this track, you'd have to be dead not like Jake Shimabukuro's music, or at the very least admire his skill.

So give the Ka'au Crater Boys some love!

Y'know, just because something doesn't appeal to you personally—and there is a great deal of this apparently on RP, judging from your song comments—doesn't negate either its artistic value or its sheer fun quotient. You might lighten up a bit, or simply change the channel. Y'know...vote with your feet. I promise that no one will stop you.

Well said!!!! {#Clap}

I truly detest when people just create a post to put a stupid dancing smiley in the comments.

But it must be done.

So is the standard "has lyrics = music?"

Using that metric, Die Zauberflöte is music, but Mozart's 40th symphony isn't, I guess.

Riiiight...
