HAWAIIAN WORD OF THE DAY -  MELE : Music
HAWAIIAN PROVERB OF THE DAY - “It is the space inside that gives the drum its sound.”

October 22, 1945: In what would be his last appearance in his own production of “This is the Army,” Irving Berlin sings “Oh How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning” to an audience on Maui. The Maui visit was the last in an around-the-world tour of the show, which lasted more than 18 months. When his ovation stopped, Berlin thanked everyone and expressed his hope that he would never again have to write another war song. He never did. He had written the song for World War I, just 27 years earlier. He expressed his dismay that that war had not stuck.
