Aloha from the beautiful Hawaiian Islands. Where the green is green and the blue is blue. A place where generations of different cultures have blended together with the traditional Hawaiian lifestyle and tropical environment to produce not only a paradise found but also a paradise of sound. So check Hawaii out and see what's it all about. Experience the enchanting hot lava of the volcano "Kilauea", the haunting cold snows of the great mountain "Mauna Kea", the awesome giant surf at "Waimea" Bay and the soothing to rocking sounds of music made in Hawaii by the "Mainkaukau". Woo Hoo!

Story behind the song
After a fun day of gathering Hi'iwai (fresh water opihi), we were relaxing on my friend's porch playing guitars and thinking about good things when along came a mosquito the size of a golf ball and the audacity of a angry Pitbull. After I knocked it senseless and pinned it down for the 3 count, I decided to honor the nonsensical event by writting this song.
Lyrics
"Hanalei Mosquito" I hunt you down, Because you there to be found, I got so little time to party. I drink what I can get, Forget the rest, I'm the Hanalei mosquito. Pound for pound, I'm the biggest sucker you've ever seen, I care for you but you don't give a damn about me. I'm taking care of business, You're my favorite customer, I'm really so happy to meet you. I'll show you how to share, When we cross that bridge, I'm the Hanalei mosquito.
