"The word 'class' has many definitions and meanings. Webster defines it as 'excellence, especially of style or appearance' and of 'high quality or outstanding ability.' In the Hawaiian language the translation of class is po‘okela, which means 'superior,' 'unsurpassed,' 'the best'... And in the world of entertainment, 'a class act' is one that fellow musicians respect. The Kahauanu Lake Trio – made up of brothers Kahauanu and Tommy Lake, and Al Machida – is all of these definitions," – Ben Wood, columnist for The Honolulu Star-Bulletin This album, showcasing Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, Kahauanu Lake, is a collection of most-requested songs by the trio's fans. The CD booklet includes text and translations.
