    Traitor Vic, I love the Tuna Melt Blog. Got some of your Christmas stuff last year. Thanks for adding me to your links. I’ve done the same.

    Look for Vol. 2 soon.

    Hiya!! Thanks so much for sharing these!! Webley Edwards’ album ‘Hawaii Calls: Exotic Instrumentals’ is one of my faves the whole genre — so when I saw his name on these two, I had to grab ‘em! ( Only one thing could make me happier, and that’s if you also shared the correct playing order of the tracks???)

    Greetings! And welcome. I will post the tracklistings as soon as I can dig out the albums. I will try to get to that this evening…tomorrow at the latest. In the meantime, the track numbers are in the MP3 tags and should be in the correct order. (So if you choose “Play Album” in your MP3 player of choice, it should play the tracks in the right order. Or you can look in the MP3 file properties to get the track number).

    Have been going through my 20 or 30 Hawaiian LPs recently and discovered an edge crack in my copy of this one : ( Thanks for sharing the rip, it will sooth the vexation in the meanwhile… : )

    hey there, just like to say the site is much appreciated. you must have some pro gear to get these recordings sounding good. i was wondering if you had any billy vaughn? i have one album – ‘that’s life’ good stuff especially ‘music to watch girls by’ lounge 50s all over the place. anyways if you have any of his music its probably a good post. thanks again
