I began working with Michael and Maryanne Cord in 1991.
However, in 1987, 4 years earlier, I had first worked with Peter Burke, the son of the late Sonny Burke, of Hollywood, California. Sonny had purchased the Bell Records label out of bankruptcy before he died.
Peter contacted me as he had the rights, but no inventory to work with. So we pulled music from the Territorial Airwaves archives, and 1st released them on cassette tape. When I began working with Cord in 1991, Burke re-released the 2 volumes on the new CD technology. You’ll hear both the needle on the 78rpm record and even a slight tape hiss, as these recordings were done before computer restoration software was available, and were dubbed to reel to reel tape initially.
Today, we’ll hear memorable selections from our Cassette to CD release from 1987, courtesy of the Territorial Airwaves archives.

Sol Ho'opi'i - 2006
I began working with Michael and Maryanne Cord in 1991.
Our dream was to take recordings from Territorial Airwaves archives, restore them using newly developed state of the art computer technology, and release them as compact discs, for all Hawaiian music enthusiasts to enjoy and learn from.
We felt that the music must once again be heard, and that the Hawaiian music community would appreciate it.
And we were right!
