When it was discovered that the Hawaiian Islands could have remnants of the sunken Mu civilization, Merrell Fankhauser and his band MU decided to move to the island of Maui. In 1974 Merrell Fankhauser was living in a jungle shack on Maui with his group MU and violinist Mary Lee. Their lifestyle was mystically oriented and they followed a vegetarian diet. Around this same time the Tibetan Lama Kar Mapa came to the island for a meditation retreat that was sponsored by one of Merrell’s neighbors in the jungle. Merrell and Mary thus became the first westerners to play modern music for the Lama. The unique quality of the songs came through and has passed the test of time. Merrell’s music is gently flowing and filled with love. It conjures up images of a Polynesian paradise isle with shimmering waterfalls, waving palms and mysterious ruins. This is a true artifact from the Hippy dream of Peace, Love and Harmony for the world!
