What an amazing group of Hawaii musicians, playing in the front yard there in Waimanalo: Pops Gabby, Cyril, Martin, Bla, Uncle Atta Isaacs, Peter Moon, Palani Vaughan. How wonderful this session is preserve for us all to treasure.
Gabby loved trains but obviously didn’t get to ride any on Oahu. When his record company guys took him to LA to record, he got to see and ride trains since they made sure he had time for that.
