| I am coming to Hawaii for one of my friend's wedding. I would like to play a Hawaiian love song for him and his bride. Can you advise a traditional love or wedding song that I could play with an acoustic guitar. Would it be possible to get the sheet music depicting guitar cords? Many Thanks Don Speights |

| The traditional song for weddings is the "Hawaiian Wedding Song", called "Ke Kali Nei Au". Andy Williams had a big hit with the English version. It was very popular 40 years ago, so I'm sure there is sheet music available. An older wedding song, in Hawaiian language, is "Lei Aloha, Lei Makamae". Not sure if you'll find sheet music for this. A more modern Hawaiian love song might be "E Ho'i Ka Pili" by Keali'i Reichel. All sound good with guitar accompaniment. Jesse Tinsley |
