Music ~ Missing Hawaii

You may or may not know, but Crazy Hawaiian @crazyazz808 on Twitter is my real sister. During a phone conversation this evening, she talked about how much she missed home...Hawaii; we're from the island of Oahu.

I just wanted to share several songs and videos that reminds us of the place we call home, where the majority of our family still reside.
