It’s around mid-morning now and I’m sitting in my office at Iolani Sportswear. It was much cooler today than the past few days so I hope we’ll finally get some relief from the hot weather. Alex is starting to work on material for our 3rd CD which we plan to debut in early 2010. I …
Can you believe it?! This is my 2nd straight day of “blogging”! I’m going to try and update this every morning before my day starts so let me know if this starts to get real boring, ok? It’s about 7:30am on Monday morning and I can see some rain misting in the back of Manoa …
It was a hula “marathon” at Kani Ka Pila last night … a big mahalo to my sister Pat, Tricia, Nalani, and Tomoko (where was Yutaka??) for contributing their hula talents to last night’s festivities! The last time we did that much hula was when we performed in Japan for Golden Week. By the way, …
A big MAHALO to everyone who came down to Lulu’s last night … especially to Reiko who reminded me AGAIN to be sure to update my blog AGAIN! She actually suggested I do it everyday, but I will try to do it as often as I can. It was another fun night at Lulu’s Waikiki …
Hmmm … isn’t that the lead-in line for a Jersey Boys’ song?? Anyway, oh what a night it was at last night’s Na Hoku Awards! All of Hawai’i’s top musicians and entertainers were gathered together for an evening of music, fellowship, and honors! It never ceases to amaze me at how much fabulous talent exists …
Aloha everybody!! It’s June and we’re halfway through 2009! It’s been a fun & exciting year for us so far, and tonight we perform with Tony Conjugacion at the Na Hoku Awards at the Sheraton Waikiki ballroom. We had a great soundcheck last night before we headed over to Lulu’s for a quick bite to …
Aloha everyone! While at Lulu’s Waikiki last night, I was telling my good friend, Yutaka, about our performances in Japan during the recent Golden Week holiday. He said that his good friend and daughter came to see us and wanted to take a picture with us, but were told that no pictures were allowed. I …
Aloha “Ohana”! It’s turning out to be a very hot & humid Memorial Weekend here in Hawaii! It’s around 9am and we just returned from walking our three puppies – Buster, Peanut, and Jazzie – and boy, is it hot! I sure hope the cool tradewinds return soon or I’m going to have to turn …
Boy, it looks like the hot summer weather has finally arrived in Hawaii … but the skies are clear and sunny and the mornings and late afternoons are beautiful. This weekend is Memorial Weekend so we’ll be taking my mother to visit the graves of my father and other relatives, and to decorate them with …
Aloha peeps, We’ve been quite busy since we returned to Hawaii last Thursday. My dad’s funeral service was on Friday, we performed at Kani Ka Pila on Saturday, took our mothers to brunch on Mother’s Day, and finally interred my father’s ashes this morning (Monday) at Punchbowl! We’re all still pretty exhausted and our body …
