NRR Project: “Hula Medley”
Performed by Gabby Pahinui
Recorded 1947
2:58
Another entry that I’ve never heard of and have nothing cogent to discuss regarding it. Read J.W. Junker’s great essay on it at theNational Recording Registry. It’s a beautiful piece of music! And Pahinui is still remembered as the King of Slack Key Guitar.
The National Recording Registry Project tracks one writer’s expedition through all the recordings in the National Recording Registry in chronological order. Next time: Frankie Yankovic and his Yanks play Just Because.
