'Palehua' a modern Hawaiian song for a place

Here's a song about a place on the leeward side of O'ahu. It was written by Amy Hanaiali'i Gilliom and Willie K during their productive partnership in the 1990s. The melody is modern and a little bluesy. I am playing this in G tuning on my six-string guitar.

Jesse - you did such a wonderful job on this. `Olelo was great, there is so much to say in such a short time, and I sure like whoever is harmonizing with you. Nani.

Me ke aloha,

@wjc1952 Thanks for checking out these new videos. I have access to a better camera now, so I can shoot the video separate from the audio, allowing me to go back and harmonize with myself.

Chee pono! Maika'i loa! I like the way you enunciate you can actually understand what you saying!

Wow Jesse dis one gave me major chicken skin, brah! I was always thinking one day I'll try and do a version of Palehua. Now, I have your version to inspire me. :-)
