I was about 11 and 12 back in the mid-1950s when we lived on Oahu for about 2 years. My mother decided to learn to hula, and she performed this one to my brother and me. Always loved the song. By the way, my 5th or 6th grade class had to learn to hula to The Cockeyed Mayor of Kaunakakai - even the boys (or maybe especially the boys.) It was a fun time, those two years. Lovely dancing. Thank you.

It's so good to hear about your childhood memories of the hula - your mom dancing this lovely dance, and you learning the Cockeyed Mayor of Kaunakakai. I've taught both these dances, and Cockeyed Mayor is the next dance I am teaching my 2 teenage grandsons who are members of my hula dance group. What a fun dance it is! Thank you, Robert, for your warm and most appreciated comment.

Hi Lucia. How are you doing with your Hula dancing lately? I just put out my latest video (with a story) on my other KZbin channel, Super Woodburning Tutorials. Woodburning is one art form that I do in addition to dancing the Hula. I thought I'd share it with you, and hope you watch and enjoy it. Here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4HRZqNun7WcjK8

This is at Poka'i Bay Beach Park in Waianae, Oahu. It's so beautiful and peaceful especially in the early morning.
