I've enjoyed the Royal Hawaiian CD for several years now. I have never heard anything else quite like it. The passing of John King in 2009 means that everything he recorded is even more precious to uke players.
To the best of my knowledge, the arrangements on Royal Hawaiian were never published, but a few of them are available. John's Classical Uke book has Alekoki and Pupu Ao Ewa, and Ukulele Tim gave us a great tab of Ka Ipo Lei Manu.
Does anyone know of other sources of tabs for the tunes on the CD? I especially would love to learn Sweet Lei Lehua and Nani Aale Lihu'e.
I have worked thru everything in John's great Mel Bay book. I also enjoy some of the intermediate arrangements in his classical book, but its his Hawaiian music I love most.
