Story behind the song
When I started learning to play, Hula Medley was one of the first songs I heard Doug McMaster play. I was influenced by several versions and made up my own when I couldn?t duplicate any of them. I play it using a different rhythm just to be unique. This is the same tune Sheila and I performed at the student concert at Aloha Camp last August. I originally posted this song on SoundClick in 2003. In 2004 I re-recorded it to reflect my progress as a player. This is the newer version. Tuning: Taro Patch (DGDGBD)
