Puttin on the Beamer Brothers...

In case you can't see it in the photo, this is what is says on the from cover of the album: "Jack de Mello presents Keola and Kapono Beamer.  This is our Island Home - We Are Her Sons.  Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar in the Real Old Style."  I found out about the Beamer Brothers from a song written and sung by Steve Dahl - a Chicago radio legend.  The song is a called Aloha Friday.  And I have a clip of it attached to this post.  The chorus of that song goes,  ..."puttin' on the Beamer Brothers, would you mind puttin' in this grass skirt...?"  In the video clip is doing the song acoustic, with Henry Kopono, but I really live the studio, fully plugged in electronic versions.
