ANNOUNCER: Visiting
with Huell Howser

00:00:05.720 --> 00:00:07.700 align:middle line:84%
is made possible
through a generous grant

00:00:07.700 --> 00:00:10.110 align:middle line:84%
from the Ralph M.
Parsons Foundation.

00:00:10.110 --> 00:00:12.467 align:middle line:90%


00:00:12.467 --> 00:00:14.300 align:middle line:84%
HUELL HOWSER: Well,
good morning, everybody.

00:00:14.300 --> 00:00:15.380 align:middle line:90%
I'm Huell Howser.

00:00:15.380 --> 00:00:18.960 align:middle line:84%
And we're getting ready
for a real adventure.

00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:22.940 align:middle line:84%
And to set this up, we
go back about a year,

00:00:22.940 --> 00:00:26.060 align:middle line:84%
when I met Dennis Moynihan
at farmer's market.

00:00:26.060 --> 00:00:28.159 align:middle line:84%
And Dennis came over to
me and said-- what Dennis?

00:00:28.159 --> 00:00:29.200 align:middle line:90%
DENNIS MOYNIHAN: I said--

00:00:29.200 --> 00:00:30.080 align:middle line:84%
HUELL HOWSER: Now
don't give it away.

00:00:30.080 --> 00:00:31.800 align:middle line:90%
Just-- we're teasing this thing.

00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:33.258 align:middle line:84%
DENNIS MOYNIHAN:
All right, I said,

00:00:33.258 --> 00:00:35.330 align:middle line:84%
Huell, I know
something in California

00:00:35.330 --> 00:00:37.490 align:middle line:84%
here that you have got
to see in Newport Beach,

00:00:37.490 --> 00:00:42.690 align:middle line:84%
some special, colorful, magical,
wonderful, fantastic, fabulous.

00:00:42.690 --> 00:00:44.751 align:middle line:84%
And I said, Huell, you
have to come see this.

00:00:44.751 --> 00:00:46.500 align:middle line:84%
HUELL HOWSER: All
right, that's good then.

00:00:46.500 --> 00:00:49.130 align:middle line:84%
That got my attention
right off the bat.

00:00:49.130 --> 00:00:50.810 align:middle line:84%
It's taken a while
to get down here.

00:00:50.810 --> 00:00:51.590 align:middle line:90%
But we're here.

00:00:51.590 --> 00:00:53.900 align:middle line:84%
And let's think of another
hint that we can give--

00:00:53.900 --> 00:00:56.177 align:middle line:84%
I guess the fact that we're
wearing Hawaiian shirts.

00:00:56.177 --> 00:00:57.760 align:middle line:84%
DENNIS MOYNIHAN:
Nice Hawaiian shirts.

00:00:57.760 --> 00:01:01.455 align:middle line:84%
And well, how about
the hint Hawaii?

00:01:01.455 --> 00:01:02.330 align:middle line:90%
HUELL HOWSER: Hawaii.

00:01:02.330 --> 00:01:03.320 align:middle line:90%
DENNIS MOYNIHAN: That's obvious.

00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:05.480 align:middle line:84%
HUELL HOWSER: And what
about the hint of hula?

00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:08.620 align:middle line:84%
DENNIS MOYNIHAN:
Hula, hula, what else?

00:01:08.620 --> 00:01:09.320 align:middle line:90%
Any other hints?

00:01:09.320 --> 00:01:09.620 align:middle line:90%
I don't know.

00:01:09.620 --> 00:01:10.610 align:middle line:90%
I don't want to give it away.

00:01:10.610 --> 00:01:13.068 align:middle line:84%
HUELL HOWSER: I think like
we've built this thing up as far

00:01:13.068 --> 00:01:15.240 align:middle line:84%
as we can without
giving it away.

00:01:15.240 --> 00:01:19.079 align:middle line:84%
We're down at the Oasis Senior
Center in Newport Beach.

00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:20.870 align:middle line:84%
DENNIS MOYNIHAN: Oh,
you just gave it away!

00:01:20.870 --> 00:01:21.744 align:middle line:90%
HUELL HOWSER: Oh, no.

00:01:21.744 --> 00:01:23.580 align:middle line:90%
No, I didn't.

00:01:23.580 --> 00:01:26.240 align:middle line:84%
It's about 10 o'clock
on a Monday morning.

00:01:26.240 --> 00:01:27.200 align:middle line:90%
We're outside.

00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:29.750 align:middle line:84%
But we're getting ready to
go inside right down here,

00:01:29.750 --> 00:01:31.970 align:middle line:84%
because this is where
this place is located.

00:01:31.970 --> 00:01:33.740 align:middle line:84%
And I think our best
hint would be just

00:01:33.740 --> 00:01:38.272 align:middle line:84%
to be quiet, put the mic out
here, and listen for a minute.

00:01:38.272 --> 00:01:44.240 align:middle line:84%

Go early in the morning.

00:02:56.940 --> 00:03:00.370 align:middle line:84%
And it's true you'll
never rue the day.

00:03:00.370 --> 00:03:03.573 align:middle line:84%
Because Princess Pupule

through all the names,

00:03:36.700 --> 00:03:38.554 align:middle line:84%

00:03:52.105 --> 00:03:54.580 align:middle line:84%
We play old songs from
the '30s and '40s.

00:03:54.580 --> 00:03:58.900 align:middle line:84%
And of course the ukulele
being related to Hawaii, why,

00:03:58.900 --> 00:04:00.117 align:middle line:90%
we play Hawaiian songs.

00:04:00.117 --> 00:04:01.700 align:middle line:84%
HUELL HOWSER: You
call it the ukulele.

00:04:01.700 --> 00:04:02.361 align:middle line:90%
TONY: ukulele.

00:04:02.361 --> 00:04:02.860 align:middle line:90%
Yeah.

00:04:02.860 --> 00:04:05.570 align:middle line:84%
HUELL HOWSER: Have I been
saying it wrong all these years?

00:04:05.570 --> 00:04:06.530 align:middle line:90%
ALL: Yes.

00:04:06.530 --> 00:04:09.480 align:middle line:84%
HUELL HOWSER: I've
been saying ukulele.

00:04:09.480 --> 00:04:11.365 align:middle line:90%
It's ukulele, right?

00:04:11.365 --> 00:04:13.740 align:middle line:84%
SPEAKER 1: You say it the
American way, ukulele.

00:04:13.740 --> 00:04:15.741 align:middle line:90%
But the Hawaiian way is ukulele.

00:04:15.741 --> 00:04:16.865 align:middle line:90%
HUELL HOWSER: Say it again.

00:04:16.865 --> 00:04:17.415 align:middle line:90%
SPEAKER 1: Ukulele.

00:04:17.415 --> 00:04:18.331 align:middle line:90%
HUELL HOWSER: ukulele.

00:04:18.331 --> 00:04:19.690 align:middle line:90%
SPEAKER 1: ukulele, right.

00:04:19.690 --> 00:04:22.810 align:middle line:84%
HUELL HOWSER: And did you
grow up playing the ukulele?

00:04:22.810 --> 00:04:24.820 align:middle line:84%
SPEAKER 1: I started
at 11 years old.

00:04:24.820 --> 00:04:25.790 align:middle line:90%

00:04:25.790 --> 00:04:26.100 align:middle line:90%

00:04:26.100 --> 00:04:28.016 align:middle line:84%
HUELL HOWSER: How many
of you started as kids?

00:04:28.016 --> 00:04:30.644 align:middle line:84%
SPEAKER 1: From Des
Moines, Iowa, not Hawaii.

00:04:30.644 --> 00:04:32.560 align:middle line:84%
HUELL HOWSER: How many
of you started as kids?

00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:34.690 align:middle line:84%
Or is this just
something that's kind of,

00:04:34.690 --> 00:04:36.920 align:middle line:84%
most people have picked
up later on in life?

00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:37.720 align:middle line:84%
SPEAKER 1: I think most
people have probably

00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:38.639 align:middle line:90%
picked it up later.

00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:39.430 align:middle line:90%
HUELL HOWSER: Yeah.

00:04:39.430 --> 00:04:41.124 align:middle line:84%
SPEAKER 1: Toby, this
is his third time.

00:04:41.124 --> 00:04:42.040 align:middle line:90%
HUELL HOWSER: Oh, wow.

00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:43.750 align:middle line:90%

00:04:46.512 --> 00:04:48.220 align:middle line:84%
TOBY: Well, through
a lot of connections.

00:04:48.220 --> 00:04:49.719 align:middle line:84%
You got to be
connected to get here.

00:04:49.719 --> 00:04:52.040 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:54.380 align:middle line:84%
HUELL HOWSER: Well, we're
just honored to be here today.

00:04:54.380 --> 00:04:55.810 align:middle line:90%
Thank you very much.

00:04:55.810 --> 00:04:56.830 align:middle line:90%
Now, what happens?

00:04:56.830 --> 00:04:58.800 align:middle line:84%
What's the routine
here every morning?

00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:00.800 align:middle line:84%
SPEAKER 1: Every morning
we start off with the--

00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:04.480 align:middle line:84%
as you heard-- the
God Bless America.

00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:06.820 align:middle line:84%
And then Tony asks me
what page we're on.

00:05:06.820 --> 00:05:08.900 align:middle line:84%
And then I tell him where
we left off last week.

00:05:08.900 --> 00:05:12.744 align:middle line:84%
And if I don't like
the song, I skip it.

00:05:12.744 --> 00:05:14.410 align:middle line:84%
HUELL HOWSER: So you
just basically work

00:05:14.410 --> 00:05:15.779 align:middle line:90%
through the songbook.

00:05:15.779 --> 00:05:17.320 align:middle line:84%
SPEAKER 1: Actually
it's not a class,

00:05:17.320 --> 00:05:18.640 align:middle line:90%
it's more just a meeting.

00:05:18.640 --> 00:05:20.110 align:middle line:90%
HUELL HOWSER: Just a lot of fun.

00:05:20.110 --> 00:05:21.390 align:middle line:90%
SPEAKER 1: Oh, loads of fun.

00:05:21.390 --> 00:05:22.390 align:middle line:90%
HUELL HOWSER: All right.

00:05:22.390 --> 00:05:23.260 align:middle line:90%
Well, what's next?

00:05:23.260 --> 00:05:25.117 align:middle line:84%
Do we know what we're
going to play next?

00:05:25.117 --> 00:05:26.825 align:middle line:84%
SPEAKER 1: We usually
just turn the page.

00:05:26.825 --> 00:05:28.410 align:middle line:90%
HUELL HOWSER: Oh, all right.

00:05:28.410 --> 00:05:29.770 align:middle line:90%
Well, let's turn the page.

00:05:29.770 --> 00:05:32.800 align:middle line:84%
We want to hear what
you're doing next.

00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:34.151 align:middle line:90%
How does it work, Tony?

00:05:34.151 --> 00:05:35.400 align:middle line:90%
You just start it off up here?

00:05:35.400 --> 00:05:36.816 align:middle line:84%
TONY: We just go
through the book.

00:05:36.816 --> 00:05:38.800 align:middle line:84%
And we were talking
about ukulele

00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:40.660 align:middle line:90%
versus ukulele, well uku--

00:05:40.660 --> 00:05:43.540 align:middle line:84%
I don't know if you know
or not-- but uku is a flea.

00:05:43.540 --> 00:05:45.490 align:middle line:84%
In the Hawaiian
language uku is a flea.

00:05:45.490 --> 00:05:48.790 align:middle line:84%
And lele means to
move quickly, or jump.

00:05:48.790 --> 00:05:50.410 align:middle line:84%
So it's kind of a
jumping flea thing.

00:05:50.410 --> 00:05:52.760 align:middle line:84%
I think it was King
Kamehameha, he saw somebody

00:05:52.760 --> 00:05:58.060 align:middle line:84%
playing ukulele over in Hawaii,
and they were playing it

00:05:58.060 --> 00:05:59.260 align:middle line:90%
real fast and strumming.

00:05:59.260 --> 00:06:01.980 align:middle line:84%
And so he said, it looks
like a dog scratching fleas.

00:06:01.980 --> 00:06:02.720 align:middle line:90%
So that's why.

00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:03.929 align:middle line:90%
We're scratching fleas today.

00:06:03.929 --> 00:06:04.803 align:middle line:90%
HUELL HOWSER: Really?

00:06:04.803 --> 00:06:05.800 align:middle line:90%
Did it start in Hawaii?

00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:09.142 align:middle line:84%
TONY: Yes, it started in Hawaii,
this version of the ukulele.

00:06:09.142 --> 00:06:10.600 align:middle line:84%
The one that the
Portuguese brought

00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:13.965 align:middle line:84%
was a longer stem called a
braga or something of that sort.

00:06:13.965 --> 00:06:15.340 align:middle line:84%
HUELL HOWSER: So
it's an offshoot

00:06:15.340 --> 00:06:18.086 align:middle line:84%
of the guitar and something
from Portugal, right?

00:06:18.086 --> 00:06:18.960 align:middle line:90%
TONY: That's correct.

00:06:18.960 --> 00:06:21.660 align:middle line:84%
The Portuguese brought it
around in their trading days.

Everybody's kind of

00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:28.015 align:middle line:90%
So you're the leader.

00:06:28.015 --> 00:06:28.990 align:middle line:90%
TONY: I'm the leader.

00:06:28.990 --> 00:06:30.100 align:middle line:90%
I'm the master at arms.

I don't call myself a leader.

00:06:31.420 --> 00:06:33.856 align:middle line:90%
Just keep these kids in order.

TONY: What kind of song?

00:08:39.669 --> 00:08:44.340 align:middle line:84%
Any song is an ukulele song when
the people of our generation

00:08:44.340 --> 00:08:47.070 align:middle line:84%
were down at Santa Monica

ukuleles, there were a lot

00:08:49.680 --> 00:08:51.645 align:middle line:84%

a little off-color and whatnot--

hit the mainland,

00:09:06.404 --> 00:09:08.070 align:middle line:84%

playing-- the college

00:09:12.230 --> 00:09:13.692 align:middle line:90%

back in the 1930s,

00:15:42.790 --> 00:15:45.924 align:middle line:84%
and it's probably around
$1,200 to $1,500 for this one.

00:15:45.924 --> 00:15:46.840 align:middle line:90%
HUELL HOWSER: Oh gosh.

00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:48.070 align:middle line:90%
I'm handing it back to you.

00:15:48.070 --> 00:15:50.581 align:middle line:84%
And I'm sorry for all
those disparaging remarks

00:15:50.581 --> 00:15:51.580 align:middle line:90%
I made about it earlier.

00:15:51.580 --> 00:15:52.996 align:middle line:84%
SPEAKER 3: Don't
get it all dirty.

00:15:52.996 --> 00:15:55.180 align:middle line:84%
SPEAKER 4: This one is
a little bit larger,

00:15:55.180 --> 00:15:57.820 align:middle line:84%
and it's called a
concert ukulele.

00:15:57.820 --> 00:15:58.780 align:middle line:90%
OK?

00:15:58.780 --> 00:16:02.950 align:middle line:84%
And then the next size up
would be a tenor ukulele.

00:16:02.950 --> 00:16:04.780 align:middle line:84%
And this is a
Martin tenor, which

00:16:04.780 --> 00:16:07.390 align:middle line:90%
is a beautiful instrument.

00:16:07.390 --> 00:16:10.160 align:middle line:90%
The sound is really incredible.

00:16:10.160 --> 00:16:12.580 align:middle line:84%
HUELL HOWSER: So the
whole idea of ukuleles

00:16:12.580 --> 00:16:14.380 align:middle line:90%
just being kind of these--

00:16:14.380 --> 00:16:17.470 align:middle line:84%
you know, you can get ukuleles
in, like, souvenir shops

00:16:17.470 --> 00:16:18.030 align:middle line:90%
and things.

00:16:18.030 --> 00:16:20.270 align:middle line:84%
That's given ukuleles
a bad name, hasn't it?

00:16:20.270 --> 00:16:22.270 align:middle line:84%
SPEAKER 4: Yeah, that's
because they started out

00:16:22.270 --> 00:16:24.070 align:middle line:90%
as plastic ukuleles.

00:16:24.070 --> 00:16:27.400 align:middle line:84%
And they were throw-away
little toy things, right?

00:16:27.400 --> 00:16:30.550 align:middle line:84%
But those plastic ukuleles
are worth probably hundreds

00:16:30.550 --> 00:16:31.450 align:middle line:90%
of dollars right now.

00:16:31.450 --> 00:16:33.400 align:middle line:84%
In fact, the Betty
Boop is selling

00:16:33.400 --> 00:16:35.779 align:middle line:84%
for somewhere around
$2,000 to $3,000.

00:16:35.779 --> 00:16:38.320 align:middle line:84%
HUELL HOWSER: So there are going
to be people taking ukuleles

00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:40.870 align:middle line:84%
out of their attics and taking
them to Antiques Roadshow

00:16:40.870 --> 00:16:43.780 align:middle line:84%
to find out how much
they're worth now, right?

00:16:43.780 --> 00:16:46.660 align:middle line:84%
SPEAKER 4: Yeah, because there
are some very, very expensive

00:16:46.660 --> 00:16:47.650 align:middle line:90%
ukuleles.

00:16:47.650 --> 00:16:48.927 align:middle line:90%
And some them were plastics.

00:16:48.927 --> 00:16:50.260 align:middle line:90%
HUELL HOWSER: Now, what is this?

00:16:50.260 --> 00:16:51.285 align:middle line:90%
What's happening?

00:16:51.285 --> 00:16:53.039 align:middle line:90%
SPEAKER 5: It's not hard.

00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:53.580 align:middle line:90%
You're going.

00:16:53.580 --> 00:16:54.760 align:middle line:90%
You're thumbing your ride.

00:16:54.760 --> 00:16:56.290 align:middle line:84%
HUELL HOWSER: What is
this we're doing now?

00:16:56.290 --> 00:16:57.664 align:middle line:84%
TONY: You're going
to do Hukilau.

00:16:57.664 --> 00:17:01.540 align:middle line:84%
Now, Hukilau, that's actually
a party on the beach in Hawaii.

00:17:01.540 --> 00:17:05.153 align:middle line:84%
And they dance, and
they tell the story

00:17:05.153 --> 00:17:06.069 align:middle line:90%
of what they're doing.

00:17:06.069 --> 00:17:07.015 align:middle line:90%
Huki is to pull.

00:17:07.015 --> 00:17:08.915 align:middle line:84%
SPEAKER 1: Well,
why am I doing this?

00:17:08.915 --> 00:17:11.020 align:middle line:84%
TONY: Because you're
a new person here,

00:17:11.020 --> 00:17:13.210 align:middle line:84%
and every new person that
comes here has to do it.

00:17:13.210 --> 00:17:14.420 align:middle line:90%
HUELL HOWSER: Oh my gosh.

00:17:14.420 --> 00:17:15.904 align:middle line:90%
Y'all did tell me this.

00:17:15.904 --> 00:17:16.404 align:middle line:90%
[APPLAUSE]

00:17:16.404 --> 00:17:18.112 align:middle line:84%
SPEAKER 5: You're
going to pull the neck.

00:17:18.112 --> 00:17:20.036 align:middle line:90%
HUELL HOWSER: All right.

00:17:20.036 --> 00:17:22.110 align:middle line:90%
TONY: Here we go.

00:17:22.110 --> 00:17:22.609 align:middle line:90%
Slow.

00:17:22.609 --> 00:17:25.230 align:middle line:90%


00:17:25.230 --> 00:17:26.990 align:middle line:90%

00:19:07.740 --> 00:19:09.930 align:middle line:90%
dance, you got to be careful.

00:19:09.930 --> 00:19:11.760 align:middle line:90%
You're tempting romance.

00:19:11.760 --> 00:19:13.355 align:middle line:84%
Don't keep your
eyes on her hips,

00:19:13.355 --> 00:19:14.990 align:middle line:90%
oh, those naughty hula hips.

00:19:14.990 --> 00:19:17.630 align:middle line:84%
Just keep your
eyes on her hands.

00:19:17.630 --> 00:19:20.250 align:middle line:84%
Remember they're
telling a story to you.

00:19:20.250 --> 00:19:23.117 align:middle line:84%
Her opu is swaying, but
don't watch the view.

00:19:23.117 --> 00:19:25.450 align:middle line:84%
Louie, uh-uh, keep your eyes
on the sing, because fella,

00:19:25.450 --> 00:19:26.820 align:middle line:90%
it doesn't mean a thing.

00:19:26.820 --> 00:19:29.070 align:middle line:84%
Just keep your
eyes on her hands.

00:19:29.070 --> 00:19:31.016 align:middle line:84%
And when she goes
around the island,

00:19:31.016 --> 00:19:32.390 align:middle line:84%

00:19:34.770 --> 00:19:36.930 align:middle line:84%
Louie, because the
hula has a feeling.

00:19:36.930 --> 00:19:38.400 align:middle line:90%
It can send your senses reeling.

00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:41.400 align:middle line:90%
It makes a weak man strong.

00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:42.950 align:middle line:90%
Your eyes are revealing.

00:19:42.950 --> 00:19:44.450 align:middle line:90%
You're fooling no one.

00:19:44.450 --> 00:19:47.800 align:middle line:84%
No use in concealing
we're having some fun.

00:19:47.800 --> 00:19:50.710 align:middle line:84%
So if you're too young

00:19:59.540 --> 00:20:01.310 align:middle line:84%
And when her grass
skirt goes a-swishing,

00:20:01.310 --> 00:20:04.170 align:middle line:84%
Louie, keep your head,
don't go wishing that you

00:20:04.170 --> 00:20:06.250 align:middle line:90%
would like to mow the lawn.

00:20:06.250 --> 00:20:08.010 align:middle line:90%
Your eyes are revealing.

00:20:08.010 --> 00:20:09.230 align:middle line:90%
You're fooling no one.

You made our day, too.

We were looking forward to it.

00:20:53.170 --> 00:20:55.274 align:middle line:84%
You know, we started

00:20:56.940 --> 00:20:58.230 align:middle line:84%
HUELL HOWSER: Well,

00:20:58.230 --> 00:20:59.340 align:middle line:90%

It's been going on I
guess about 22 years.

00:21:08.610 --> 00:21:11.250 align:middle line:84%
HUELL HOWSER: And it just
keeps growing in popularity,

00:21:11.250 --> 00:21:15.210 align:middle line:84%
because it's fairly
easy to learn.

00:21:15.210 --> 00:21:17.740 align:middle line:84%
The words to the songs
are great to sing.

00:21:17.740 --> 00:21:20.055 align:middle line:84%
And it's just a lot of fun
for people to get together,

00:21:20.055 --> 00:21:20.310 align:middle line:90%
isn't it?

00:21:31.710 --> 00:21:34.130 align:middle line:84%

00:21:37.230 --> 00:21:41.820 align:middle line:84%
It grows from a little soprano
originally, to a concert size

00:21:41.820 --> 00:21:44.800 align:middle line:84%
ukulele, to a tenor
size ukulele, and then

00:21:44.800 --> 00:21:48.580 align:middle line:84%
the baritone ukulele, which
is like a small tenor guitar.

00:21:48.580 --> 00:21:51.340 align:middle line:90%
And people play them all.
