Rare Harry Owens autobiography

Eric Stumpf · From: Newbury, NH 03255

This hardbound 325 page first edition of "Sweet Leilani: The Story Behind the Song" is the autobiography of Harry Owens of "Harry Owens and his Royal Hawaiians" fame. This signed edition is in excellent condition with slightly-worn dust jacket and features several b/w and color photos. Harry Owens' body of work is still an appreciated element in the genre of big band Hawaiian music which he performed for decades in Hawaiian and mainland hotels, in movies, on records and on Los Angeles television in the late 1940's and 1950's. He was an immensely talented composer, band leader and appreciative student of genuine Hawaiian culture. The text is fascinating and gives the reader a comprehensive insight into the world of playing commercial Hawaiian music during it's mid-century heyday. Naturally, there is mention of his fine steel guitarists Fred Tavares, Eddie Bush and Sol K. Bright. $30.00 gets the book with free shipping to your US Domestic address.

Price reduced to $20.00 and that includes free USA shipping. It's a very interesting book and was signed by Mr. Owens himself.
