In his interview Kuo calls Atta Isaacs "a warm generous person" and "a musician's musician and a humble man that could play the guitar like nobody's business." Kamakahi also talks about Pahinui and William Kuwalu. Kamakahi recalls a "jam session" on Kauaʻi with Malaki Kanahele and William Kuwalu. Kamakahi recalls Kuwalu telling him that the Mauna Loa is known on Niʻihau as Kī Mālie, a calm and gentle tune that Kuwalu's parents played to him and his siblings.
