March Madness Monday Music Giveaway – March 21
Oh, goody! It’s time for another Monday Hawaiian music giveaway! This week’s music giveaway CD is The 50 Greatest Hawaii Music Albums Ever . The record company, Mountain Apple, describes this CD as follows: In June 2004 HONOLULU Magazine put together a panel of experts and named The 50 Greatest Hawai’i Music Albums Ever. From those great albums we’ve selected the greatest tunes. Tracks like Olomana’s “Seabird,” The Brothers Cazimero’s classic, “Nani Hanalei,” and Na Leo’s incomparable “Flying with Angels.” This album is a must for any Hawai’i music collection. Whether you are a hard core Hawaiian music fan and collector or brand new to the Hawaiian music scene, this is an album that is a must have! I should note that this not actually 50 albums or even 50 songs, but a collection of songs that represent the best of the top 50 albums. It’s quite an eclectic collection. From my Hawaiian Music Q&A with Mountain Apple Records Executive , Leah Bernstein recommends this CD for anyone who is interested in learning and listening to a broad range of Hawaiian music. For a chance at winning this CD, please comment to tell us where is your favorite place to listen to Hawaiian music.

Let’s continue our music giveaway fun. Today’s giveaway is this Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar Masters Volume 1 . It’s an instrumental CD that will certainly lift your spirits and calm your nerves with a Hawaiian flair. I chose a slack key guitar CD because it’s a sound that was invented in Hawaii . It’s very distinctive sound practically transports you to Hawaii as soon as you hear the first cord. Listening to slack key guitar in Hawaii is one of my favorite sounds. (My very favorite Hawaiian sound is the sound of the tradewinds blowing through the palm trees.) I’d like to know what’s your favorite sound in Hawaii . So, for a chance at winning this week’s CD, please comment with your favorite sound of Hawaii.

Today’s photo comes to us from Susie Wang, who is one of the cool kidz of the Go Visit Hawaii Facebook community . Susie took this photo of Sunset Beach last month when she and her boyfriend, Rob Metze, were in vacationing on Oahu.
