Happy St. Patrick's Day!


Here's an oldie but goodie that you can use to busk for free green beer on the 17th. Play it really well, and you can trade up for Guinness.

The sheet music for O'Brien is Tryin' to Learn to Talk Hawaiian is here. You can listen to a 1916 Edison Recording at the UCSB Cylinder Preservation page here.

Chords and lyrics come courtesy of Brian Hefferan, who you can hear perform his inimitable version here.

  1. Anyone so inclined can hop over to YouTube and catch the King Kukulele take on the 'O'Brien's gone Hawaiian' theme, Gary -

    Gone Hawaiian

    All in fun, of course. And any offense taken by any O'Brien or
    Hawaiian just adds to that fun...
