Who knew the Love Shack was a grass shack?
As for "the famous Hawaii music group the Lim Family", I never heard of them in my nine years upon the sacred 'aina.

I knew Fred and Ricky are/were.
RIP Ricky.
So happy for her! They look like a lovely couple!!
So they go on a rather good compilation album with Bowie, Elton John, Queen, Melissa Etheridge, k.d. lang, and suburban Atlanta's Indigo Girls, among others.
