I think he meant King of Hawaii. I've been a fan of history since 1st grade.(The 1st book I ever read all by myself was a biography.) What always amazes me is how much history I learn on Mudcat, and not just music history. I hadn't known about the place Hawaiians had in the early history of the Pacific regions of North America. So thanks to all you historians, amateur or otherwise, who contribute to this and similar threads.
