HONOLULU HAWAII, JANUARY 2006---MANNY K FERNANDEZ WITH HIS STRONG VOCALS AND 8-STRING UKULELE HAS RETURNED WITH AN APPEALING ALBUM OF LITTLE HEARD PERSONAL FAVORITES. THEY ARE THE SONGS OFTEN HEARD DURING HS YOUTH. THEY BRING TO MIND A HAWAI`I OF YESTERYEAR, AND FOR mANNY, THEY STIR MEMORIES OF GOOD TIMES SPENT LISTENING AND PLAYING WITH TALENTED FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS.

INSPIRED TO MASTER THE UKULELE, MANNY SPENT DECADES PERFORMING IN HAWAI`I HOTELS AND LOCAL TELEVISION---AS AN AMBASSADOR OF ALOHA FOR HAWAIIAN AIRLINES---IN VENUES FROM HERE TO THE MAINLAND AND ON FOREIGN SOIL, IN EUROPE, ASIA AND THE PACIFIC. I THANK GOD FOR MY GIFT AND THAT I WAS ABLE TO LEARN FROM THE MASTERS. MANNY INVITES YOU TO JOIN HIM AS HE RECALLS THOSE WONDERFUL TIMES. HE URGES YOU TO ''COME AND ENJOY THESE SONGS WITH ME IN 'MY ISLAND PARADISE'' KONA-KAI DISTRIBUTING
