[78-L] Hawaiian Trio on Canadian radio

[Malcolm Rockwell]

I always look for ads for Hawaiian acts. If you spot any early ones I'd 
love to see them. Can you lift jpgs of pages, or parts thereof, from the 
database? A bio or promo article for Ben Hokea would be nice, but I'm 
not counting on it!
Thanks,
Mal
