Podcast Show Notes: We asked John Burnett, staff writer for the Hawaii Tribune-Herald, for his Top 5 Tunes and he came with some classics, and maybe a few you’ve never heard before.
Burnett’s Picks: Ledward Kaapana’s “I Kona,” Mark Yamanaka’s “Love, Me,” Nā Palapalai’s “Kimo Henderson Hula,” Darlene Ahuna’s “Akaka Falls,” and Long Tall Deb and Colin John – “Lungs.”
Burnett’s hoping for a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine to be made available soon so he can go back to his passion of experiencing live music in person, both from Hawaii’s excellent musicians and touring national and worldwide acts.
