Souce: Hula Records Album: "Alice Ku`uleialohapoina`ole Nämakelua" - The composer, vacationing with friends at Punalu`u in the summer of 1958, was driving along the windward coast enroute to Honolulu. As they approached the Pali it began to rain, the mist hovered overhead and water was running down the road. When the mist lifted, the mountains and waterfalls were spectacular. These beautiful things were the inspiration for this mele composed December 31, 1959. Copyright 1973, Heinz-Guenther Gerhard Pink
