Songs Harry Learned in Hawaii

When Harry Cooper was a very young man, his father signed enlistment papers so his son could join the Army and follow his dream. Ever since he'd heard the Hawaiian musicians playing on Atlantic City's Steel Pier, all Harry could think about was getting to the tropics. The Army sent him to Oahu, where he learned to play steel guitar, rescued a drowning soldier, soaked up the sunshine and saw no combat. He came back with some favorite songs that he shared with his soon-to-be-bride, and all these years later, they still love to sing them together. Let's listen in as they harmonize.
