MAHI BEAMER - HAWAII'S MAHI BEAMER LP 59


 Decided to feature one from the Hawaiian music category I have been featuring here weekly since the vocals are quite intricate and like none other I've heard before thus very authentic.  Also, with each week I am learning and more importantly finally understanding the popularity of this type of music and much of it is quite old and forgotten.  Per Discogs:  Real Name: Edwin Mahiʻai Copp Beamer    Profile:

Mahi Beamer (born December 5, 1928, Honolulu, Territory of Hawaii - died July 14, 2017) was an American tenor falsetto singer, composer and hula dancer of Hawaiian ancestry and part of the dynastic Beamer family. He began performing in the 1940s and recorded from the 1950s onwards. He also backed other musicians on piano. In 2006, Mahi Beamer was inducted into the Hawaiian Music Hall of Fame. Grandson of Helen D. Beamer, and cousin of Winona Beamer. 1991: Winner of a Nā Hōkū Hanohano Lifetime Achievement Award under the auspices of the Hawaiʻi Academy of Recording Arts.

Hey, I've got a couple of handfuls of vinyl albums here. Most in decent shape. Used a plug and play recorder to copy them but they're not nearly of the quality of your vinyl rips. Would you be interested in providing a new home for them and recording them when you get around to it? If so forward me an address.
