You’re at a Luau Now

Thank you for sharing this song with musical notes! Very few people sing it now days. There are a couple of words in this song just for clarity (okolehao and kamano) that may have been written according to how Mel Peterson heard it back in the day as okolehau and kamanu. His hapa haole composition’s are Hawaiian hula and Hawaiian song classics as you know.

Okolehao http://wehewehe.org/gsdl2.85/cgi-bin/hdict?a=q&r=1&hs=1&m=-1&o=-1&qto=4&e=p-11000-00—off-0hdict–00-1—-0-10-0—0—0direct-10-ED–4–textpukuielbert%252ctextmamaka—–0-1l–11-haw-Zz-1—Zz-1-home—00-3-1-00-0–4—-0-0-11-00-0utfZz-8-00&q=Okolehao&fqv=textpukuielbert%252ctextmamaka&af=1&fqf=ED

I don’t have the original music sheet with score and lyrics by Mel Peterson of this song but have seen its spelling on http://www.squareone.org. Yours is the same. Even in this recording https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSek9nnx73M you can hear what sounds like kamanu one time and kamano another time. Same with wahini’s too and wahine’s too. In any case, your website is a find and greatly appreciated
