Hi Ricki:

I appreciate your thoughts and you are 100% correct. It is a difficult song to sing... unless you are Mike Zee... LOL! Although the song is fictional, I spent three years in Hawaii and did some surfing at Makaha and Waianae as we would pass the little village of Nanakuli on the way.

At that time, Hawaii was a U.S. Territory and I was lucky enough to have been there when "Statehood" happened.

I really enjoyed my time in the Islands.

Thanks for listening and your comments.
