I have to add a thought here. Not sure of the meaning, but in Hawaii there is a town called Hanalei.   Beautiful place. While interviewing Peter Yarrow a while back I mentioned how I had seen what was probably the inspiration for the line in the song. He insisted that he never heard of it and how could I presume to know where he gets his inspiration.

Me---I still think it is from that town---not really a very commong name. I mean, Puff did not dwell in a place called Jersey City.
