Darned shame the Hawai`i award won't be televised. Can't you just picture Ledward up in front of all those Hollyweird stars, with that great giggle of his? They'd love him.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

I agree. Ledward, amazing talent and astounding instrumentalist that he is, comes across with absolutely no airs; just his pure Hawaiian charming self. Da buggah cracks me up.

Ledward and Nedward are my wifes uncles...(and they are cousins with the late Dennis Pavao)
Damn... my wife has one big family...Most sprung from the Puna district on the Big Island...Dating back to the 1800's!!!
So needless to say you know where my vote went

Originally posted by mediababy67"Masters" will win. More bang for the Mainland folk category voter's buck. And Led is on it, too.
It'd be great to read about (since the award won't be televised) George Kahumoku and Led taking the stage with the producers.

I haven't even heard the album, but I'd like to think Raiatea has a chance simply because now the "slack key" vote is split. (Last year, I think, the slack key album - instrumental, various artists, no Hawaiian language - was the exception.) But I have a sinking feeling we're going to see another "compilation album" take the top spot this year.

SPOILER ALERT!!!
Do NOT read ahead, if you want to be surprised tonight.
The winner has been announced (as it was presented in a ceremony this afternoon) --- it's the "Masters of Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar, Volume 1" compilation.

Your source was 10 minutes faster than mine. <high five>
I'm surprised at the outcome, and expect to hear much moaning and groaning about it.
And tomorrow, after everyone knows the result, let's have a little discussion about what this year's winner means vis-a-vis last year's winner and how the two wins will influence future Grammy nominees.

But I still send my congratulations to the winners.

Since I didn't set the poll to close at the right time, and it's still open until tomorrow afternoon, here's the results (in case they get skewed now that the announcement's been made):
Led Ka`apana - 4
Raiatea Helm; Masters - 3 each
Kapono Beamer - 1
Sonny Lim - 0

But seriously. I wonder about the fact that both year's winners were compilation albums. Makes me wonder if the Grammy voters were just lazy and took the safe way out, or... ?
I don't have the one that won today, so to anyone who does have it -- can you please tell me/us how many of the songs on it are strictly instrumental and how many have vocals? And of those with vocals, how many are sung in Hawaiian?
Thanks.
But I still send my congratulations to the winners..
