Pidgin English Children's Stories
Kent Bowman
 
In 1961, Hula Records' Don McDiarmid Jr. recorded funnyman Kent Bowman telling Pidgin English Stories for Children.  While it may not have been a hit with Hawai`i's educators, the album was instantly accepted by the masses.  Through the years, it has remained in the hearts and minds of those early fans.  By popular demand, we happily make it available for them... and for those of you who nevah heard of da guy!
 
In 2001, noted Pidgin English author and playwright, Lisa Matsumoto said "What a joy it was to finally hear the work of Kent Bowman.  Only recently was I fortunate enough to experience his local fairy tales.  I found him to be and incredible storyteller; I loved his characters, local style and flavor!  His older style Pidgin English captures a Hawai`i of days past.  What a great way to hear where Pidgin storytelling all began!
 
In other words:
Ho, braddah Kent is one unreal storytellah!  He get da kine sound effecks, an evryting!...  Wen it comes to local style fairly tales, dis is one classic!  I give um two thumbs up and one beeg shaka too!"
