I'm fortunate that I get to place a lei on his bronze statue whenever I have the need. The Hokulei'a voyages are very much part of Waianae and the people here. Thanks for posting. A few nights ago we had showers of falling stars in our night skies for two days. So again we fortunate to have our skies light up at night with stars.

@icgitar That's IZ when he was much younger, and much more mobile. During that time he was in the band called the Makaha Sons of Ni'ihau. He left his band when his weight became too much for him to travel with them. It's very sad, but he's in a better place now.

i am learning this song at school and singing it for my hula ki'i

[@scottallard2640]

Another great song by the Makaha Sons of Niihau. I sure do miss IZ and John though.

[@therelynagbayani1993]

This is my sons mayday song

[@America100000able]

@viocast This is IZ's version. It's just literally him and his band playing and singing it. Later on he went solo, because he wasn't as mobile anymore. It's really sad, but again he's in a better place.

Hokulea translated as Star of Gladness aka Arcturus

[@eatouts]

i miss the little yellow house..

[@chelseavaleho7406]

hokulea means star of gladness...

[@icgitar]

if that is IZ in the picture he sounds so different

[@harrymiram6621]

If am remembering rightly, this was mid/late 1980s. When they first formed in early/mid-70s...ALL members were related by blood
