ʻO Waltz i ka hola hoʻomaha ma kēia pāʻani Mele Kalikimaka
Ināʻoe e moe nei i kahi Kalikimaka Mele Kalikimaka,ʻo mākou wale nō ka pāʻina e kuhikuhi iāʻoe - a hele mai me nā holo lio holo lio, nā mele ola, ka hula a me ka lole lole vintage. (Au!)
Ma ka lā 3 o Dekemaba i ka makahiki 1940, e huki iʻelua 2,000 mau malihini me nā lanakila lanakila a hānaiʻia no ka pāʻina hauʻoli eʻikeʻia e like me ka mea i hoʻonohonohoʻia ma luna o ke kenekulia o Irving Berlin i ka hīmeni hoʻomaha maʻamau, Ke Mele Kalikimaka.
Ma kahi hua'ōlelo, he mea hoʻonāukiuki. (A me nā hoʻonohonoho kiʻiʻoniʻoni, nā lāʻau Mele Kalikimaka, ke keʻokeʻo, ka uhi o nā kukui, ka hangar airway he mea hilinaʻi i hoʻonohonohoʻia no ka paʻiʻana i kekahi mau kiʻi no kā kāleka'āina,ʻae?)
E hanaʻia ka'ōleʻa ma ka Papaʻo Rocky Mountain Metropolitan ma Broomfield. ʻO ka soundtrack, heʻoiaʻiʻo, e lilo i mele mele nui, me ka hoʻokūkū Metropolitan Jazz Orchestra a me ka Hot Tomatoes. ʻAʻole maopopo i ka hulaʻana i ka hula? ʻAʻohe kahe: E hiki iāʻoe ke hōʻike koke i ka 4 pm no kekahi mau haʻawina hula mahalo a aʻo i kekahi mau hana i mua o ka hoʻomakaʻana o ka pāʻina. (Komo ke komo i ka 5 pm a piʻi ka pōʻahi a hiki i ka 1 am)
Akā, he aha ka meaʻoluʻolu e like me kahi pāʻina nostalgia i waena o nā kaʻa o WWII a me nā kaʻa kila? Hoʻonui ka pōpō i ke kālā no ka Colorado 10th Mountain Division a me The Commemorative Airforce. Ua hui pūʻia me ka makahiki 1940 o ka World Era Ball i mālamaʻia i Iune i ka Boulder Airport,ʻo nā meaʻelua i hōʻea i $ 68,000 e hāʻawi i nā kōkua aloha mai ka hoʻomakaʻana o nā hanana i ka makahiki 2008.
ʻO ka hoʻolimalimaʻana i loko o ke ahiahi, he hōʻailona hōʻailona meleʻo vintage Vegas a me nā mea hana e hoʻokani nei iā Frank Sinatra, Elvis a me Judy Garland. Eia kekahi, e hanaʻia e The Satin Dollz, kahi hula hula hula a me ka hui hoʻokūkū o 1940.
"E hoʻopihaʻia ke ahiahi i nā mele Kalikimaka, ka mele nui, ka hula a me ka nostalgia no ka Mele Kalikimaka e hoʻonani i nā hoʻolālā hōʻoluʻolu a hoʻokuʻu i kaʻuhane o ka wā," wahi a Khyentse James.
ʻO ka papa helu ka mea e mālama ai iāʻoe i nāʻuhane hoʻomaha. I waena o nā mōhai? Paʻiʻalani i nā mea'alapona pork, nā kīlaʻiʻuala me kahi bourbon glaze, ka cousin cousin-cous a me ka pilina Pudding Grilled Cheese me ka brie melted, ka hua kuluma pinepine, nā'ōpū'ōpiopio, ka rosemary sourdough.
Makemake i ka pāʻina e like me ia i ka makahiki 1940? E hoʻopili i kahi kīʻaha waina no ka mea e loaʻa kahi mea hoʻokūkū lole, me hoʻokahi kāne a hoʻokahi wahine lanakila.
