These cuts were recorded in a small room in the West Bank School
of Music in Minneapolis. The recording was done in June 1970.

Ginger Johnson
was about 17 at the time of this recording
and she has now returned to Hawaii where she writes, repairs antiques,
and still does some music. In fact Ginger and
Robin Knuebuhl have just (11/2004) released a new album of Hawaiian
Music. You can find out more at: Hula Honeys -
