This is an original piece from Andrew’s latest album. He’s accompanied here by Kalei (who he showed the tune to earlier in the day) and his dad, Jay, backing them up on guitar. The recording is entirely acoustic, Andrew and Kalei both playing Kamaka tenors. Kalei on his a cedar top koa and Andrew with his spruce top koa. Jay is strumming a Pono OM spruce/rosewood guitar.
Another original composition, this one from Andrew’s first album.

As much as I love Andrew’s playing, it’s the father/son duets that draw me in. They sync as only family can, and the look of pride on his father’s face when he looks over at his son’s playing is heartwarming. My father can’t play anymore, arthritis in his hands, but it reminds me of better days.
