Couple weeks ago my teacher gave me this arrangement...it was written by Elmer Bernstein for the 1960s movie "Hawaii" (based on Micheners novel and starring Max Von Sydow and Julie Andrews...not a particularly exceptional movie but a good tune). It's a fairly simple arrangement but it has a nice mix of slants that I obviously had some trouble keeping in tune (lots of 5-6-7 type slants on the top three strings, and a few reverse adjacent string slants).

Alan Akaka...he keeps me well stocked with new arrangements (and stories of the old-timers)

Nice work, Nic. I don't remember the tune, even though I have seen the movie a couple of times.

Here's my favorite version from Hawaii Calls, I assume Barney Isaacs on steel:

And while I'm a bit too old fashioned in my musical taste to be much of a Don Ho fan, I feel like his version was fairly popular, of this song:
