Item Description
Softcover book, 275 pages.
Growing up in a remote valley in North Kohala on the island of Hawai'i, Kindy Sproat describes his life's journey in his own words with a deep passion for the place he calls home, its culture, people and a love of music that leads him to an unexpected career as an internationally revered and award-winning artist.
The nearly 400 songs and stories he learns as a boy and young man are only some of the treasures he takes with him to share with the world from Japan, Okinawa to bunker in Vietname under attack, the foot of the Statue of Liberty and on to receive the National Heritage Fellowship.
His own story provides a candid and deeply personal look at Hawai'i during the days of sugar plantations, through World War II and the changes these times brought to the Hawaiian way of life. Over 65 photos and the lyrics of 30 songs weave through this both extraordinary and beautifully simple storyteller's story about a man with a heart even larger than his fame.
