What I listen to on the Radio These Days

I don't know about you, but my radio is constantly on. It seems that I leave it on for 24 hours in a day. What are you listening to these days?

Well, I really like the local stations because I enjoy traditional Hawaiian music as well as modern Hawaiian music and the local jams blend.

I mentioned in a previous post about the ukulele and how it is a quintessential part of local music. The strumming of the ukulele in the background can give a song that 'island feel'.

One example of this is Colbie Caillat's 'Tied Down' on her debut album that is self-titled. It's a very simple, laid back, easy-going song...that is what makes it so great.

Another popular rock artist who tends to incorporate the ukulele in his pieces is Jack Johnson. Both of these artists have a very laid back sound that can be very enjoyable.
