- Listeners and readers drawn to Hawaiʻi music archives
- Worth noticing
- The session notes specify a 7½ ips reel-to-reel, one microphone, and roosters present at every session.
Field notes
The material is arranged like a record sleeve, with side labels and numbered liner-note chapters rather than a conventional blog feed. The session entry gives a location, recording speed, and microphone count, while the narrative follows the band through a lānai rebuild after Hurricane ʻIniki. The page also points to tape boxes, letters, shows, and a store; the extract does not confirm which of those links contain playable recordings.
