“’A place where beautiful sunsets and night fall collides’ truly sums up the essence of ‘Stars in Lahaina Tonight.’ It’s a song about lifetime love taken away, a sense of deep loss and letting go while finding peace in the paradise where it all began,” said co-writer and High Mountain Breezes Founder and previous Hawaiian resident, Bruce Tarletsky. “We think it’s so awesome that our friends around the world have embraced our sound and we hope ‘Stars in Lahaina Tonight’ will continue this worldwide embracing of our music.”

A dreamlike melody compliments the song's beautiful storyline based on a real couple who spent a week of stolen time on the magical beaches of Maui. The college sweethearts were separated when the husband was deployed to Vietnam, and "Stars in Lahaina Tonight" tells their story of lost love, reflection and cherished time together.

A while back I was at Allentown and took a photo of the original track sheet from when we recorded Thunder Rolls. I thought I would share it as it's kind of cool. With ProTools being the norm you don't really see track sheets anymore but Mark Miller used to keep really meticulous sheets back when we recorded on 2" analog tape.
Pre-Save/Pre-Order the new album “Daddy’s Margarita Rose - Revisited” from the HMB Players!
I've never been a huge fan of “covers” in music. Once the original song is in my head, hard for me to dislodge it, and hear an old song with new ears. After listening to the clear vocals and tight arrangements a couple of times-I kept wondering what Paul Simon and Art Garfunkle would think of this powerful version of their classic hit.
