Product Description

Perhaps one of the most popular songs about Hawaii. The Hawaiian music craze  began at the Hawaiian Pavilion at San Francisco's PanamaPacific International Exposition in 1915. The  music craze was responsible for the the biggest sale of ukeleles in history. Sears Roebuck bought the  Harmony guitar company to make ukuleles and cashed in on the craze. It has been has been covered  dozens of times by celebrity artists world wide, and has been heard in many movies and television shows.  It has been called one of the "50 Greatest Songs of Hawaii".  

The "little grass shack" of the title does not refer to a real location. The popularity of the song led  to the opening of a gift shop in Kona called "The Little Grass Shack. The song was so popular that  soldiers stationed in Hawaii during World War II who were not allowed to write letters home,   instead sent photographs of themselves in front of the gift shack, to let their families know where  they were!  To keep it gender appropriate, female singers may wish to sing "and I miss my Island boy" at measures 30, 31.  

Learning and accompaniment tracks are available free from the arranger at AAR@prodigy.net
