Interesting semi-morbid description of Havai....'i. I wish they had Peter Lorre narrate instead. |

I'm reminded of the tourist who approached a local Hawaiian asking,"Sir, do you pronounce Hawai'i as Hawai'i or Havai'i ?" The local responded, "We ALWAYS pronounce it as Havai'i."

Sadly, those days of radio are lost forever. Radio today lacks imagination, is digitally centralized and controlled whereby every station seems to rely upon a central source of programming, seldom if ever featuring live talent right in the studio. (The exception in Canada is the CBC Radio which still features live talent, although no Hawaiian).As mentioned in my earlier thread, in Canada, I'm reasonably certain my old Hawaiian show was probably the last of its kind to be broadcasted. During, and prior to that era, Billy Reid sr of Halifax had what must have been the longest running Hawaiian radio show..."Hawaiian Rendezvous"...which ran a few years longer than the world famous "Hawai'i Calls". Also Jack Riddell of Winnipeg had a show called "The Beachcombers", Jack Mooney had a Hawaiian show out of Edmonton, "4 Lads and a Lass", and lastly, Frankie McPhalen had a long running Hawaiian show out of Vancouver. Those were the good olde days of REAL radio, not only in Canada, but the US also, which have sadly gone forever.
