TESTIMONIALS

"At the request of my children I recorded various songs and anecdotes that I sang or used in the years our ten children were growing up. Now all of them are adults and they are scattered from London to Los Angeles. The purpose of the recording is to bring memories back and to leave a legacy for the grandchildren. In the process of recording Kawika was very helpful. He was always accomodating and encouraging. He kept me informed as to what techiniques were available to enhance the quality of the songs and messages. His manner was always cheerful and positive. I sincerely appreciate his guidance and counsel."
--Jay Liechty
