  1. This is a glorious old record! I've seen Promenade 45 ep's before but never an LP. I think of all the genre's out there, there are more Hawaiian themed records than any other. I have found countless different ones. This one is interesting because it is not at ALL Hawaiian sounding! I actually listened to the song twice all the way through because I totally missed the guitar break completely!! The guitar is haunting but oh so brief....One could totally miss it!

  2. Yes, the break is very brief. But at that moment the whole song changes ever so slightly and goes "dark" again. It is the small unexpected twists that these song offer up that make this recording so interesting and, in my opinion creatively substantial. Makes you wonder why there is no artist credit on the jacket.
