keali'i reichel

Click play, then read.



Today I was doing research online and saw a link to a person's blog. Since I am always curious to peak into other peoples lives, I followed the link. You know you would have done the same. Not to get too sidetracked from the task at hand, I left the tab open to look at later and went back to my research. Then out of nowhere an old familiar song began to play. "E O Mai" I recognized the voice of Keali'i Reichel immediately.

I have a Keali'i mix CD that I made while at BYU-Hawaii. It is the best. It is a calming presence when I am stressed. When a storm is raging outside of my car and I can feel all of the muscles in my body tensed, I slip that CD in and everything is a little less scary and stressful. I remember in Hawaii Drew and I could get ready to go somewhere and have a productive day, but if he put on Hawaiian music we were goners. Our day would go from a planned productive day to a relaxing day set to run on Hawaiian time as soon as the music started. Not very useful, but always enjoyable.

Here are some other favorites:



This one is in English for all you Haoles. I love the harmonizing.
