Kaniakapupu ("the singing of the land shells")

Aloha Everyone smile emoticon
While taking some time off of MoAloha Blasting LLC works. I spent some time relaxing my mind researching areas of Hawaiian interest today I found myself reading up on King Kamehameha's III summer home, Kaniakapupu ("the singing of the land shells").

I have attached a link to a website that has a short and interesting story about the Summer Home.
I am still looking for more information, stories, and legends about Kaniakapupu.

While reading and researching a song came to mind. A song that most of us raised in Hawai'i will remember dearly. 

That song is "Pupu Hinuhinu".

Are you smiling? smile emoticon I bet you are smile emoticon
Nothing but happy memories, singing with classmates, Aunties, Uncles, Tutu's and Family.

Just in-case you forgot the words I have posted them here. smile emoticon
Enjoy the memories! smile emoticon
