Though Kane made his first recording in 1961, Punahele is the only release to feature his acoustic guitar in a solo setting. A slowed-down ragtime tempo shapes the classic tear-jerker "Pua Sadina" ("I Never Will Forget") and the five-song seamless instrumental medley that follows kicks off with a lush snippet of Hawaiian country blues.
