If you think it all sounds alike, you're wrong for sure. <p> I've put up a couple of internet "radio stations." Unlike most internet radio, I'll tell you the name of the artist on each song, plus there's a popup box that will show you song title and artist. (They're on <a href="http://voices.cc/live365.html">Live365</a>, where you'll have to register if you're a new listener, and you'll have to log on each time you listen. It only takes a minute, and it's well worth doing.) If you're not very familiar with Hawaiian music, these stations are here to introduce you: <p> <A HREF='javascript:LaunchBroadcast("arthadley","PLR-arthadley")'><img src="haw101small.gif" width="150" height="115" alt="Hawaiian 101 - Intro to Hawaiian Music" align="right" border=0></A> <b>Hawaiian 101; An Introduction to Hawaiian Music</b> - It's almost two hundred of the best songs from the biggest Hawaiian albums from the last quarter century (about 13 hours of music), just the thing to introduce you to what you've been missing in contemporary Hawaiian music. You'll hear old Hawaiian songs, pop hits, some reggae, some rock, and even a touch of Polynesian rap. This one's 56k stereo. <p> <A HREF='javascript:LaunchBroadcast("arthadley2","PLR-arthadley2")'><img src="skpguitar.gif" width="150" height="115" alt="Hawaiian 101 Slack Key Paradise" align="right" border="0"></A> <b>Slack Key Paradise - </b>All Hawaiian slack key guitar, all the time. Also, some interviews from Dancing Cat Records artists mixed in. This one's set on Shuffle, so you may hear the same artist back to back occasionally, but it's all great. 24k, so even dial-up connections should be able to get it. <P><a href="http://voices.cc/mikini.html"> <img src="mikinimeleonyellow.gif" width="175" height="95" alt="ka Mikini Mele Hawai'i" border=0 align="right"></a> If you're already a Hawaiian music fan, there's lots more to hear on the web; visit my <b>mikini mele</b> page, the Hawaiian Music Machine, to find all the Hawaiian music on the internet that I know about. <p> <br> <p> Here's some links to learn more about Hawaiian music: <p> <A href="http://www.hawaii-music.com/"><img src="stevoonyellow.jpg" width="280" height="74" alt="" border=0><br><b>Stevo's Hawaiian Music Guide</b></A> <p> <A href="http://people.ku.edu/~art/www_furious_com-perfect-hawaii.html"><img src="perfect1.jpg" width="131" height="57" alt="" border=0> <br>1997 article</A> (by me) in <b>Perfect Sound Forever</b> music magazine <p> <A href="http://www.ukuleles.com/"><img src="kawikaonyellow.jpg" alt="" border=0> <br><B>Ukuleles by Kawika</B></A>, See the artistry that goes into the creation of a great concert ukelele (and a great web page).
