This Mele Pana (song of places) describes uncle Pono and Aunty Lou Beamers first date as teenagers. Andy cummings and other friends were with them on this excursion but there are no good sources who actually wrote this mele(song) being that UnclePono Beamer and others there with them were also phenominal songs writers. But a few sources i have read attribute the song to his style of writing so the best guess is Andy cumming wrote it. Andy Cummings is most known for his song Waikiki, Uncle Pono is best known for his song Kuu Hoa.
