Love the "Kona Daze" song by Kalapana in the 1960-1970 video. Enjoy looking back in time at the islands. Thanks for posting them HBH.

A few days ago i found some history of different areas of the big island. If i don't get your area i will later. If your moving to the Big Island or have lived there for awhile it can be interesting to know or view your areas historical info, often changing your perceptions or outlook. Hope you enjoy.

Is it Waimea Town or is it Kamuela? Waimea town has a rich history of Paniolo and The Parker Ranch. It was fun to collect the history of this area, hope you enjoy it too.

Since Waimea Town has a rich history of the Paniolo and Parker Ranch i thought i would include some history on these subjects.

Excellent! if you (or someone else) can manage to pull the source video off youtube and ftp it to me or something, I can edit it all down to one piece to show the transition from decade to decade in a couple of minutes.
