Happy Father’s Day!

I’d like to wish all my fellow dads out there a very Happy Father’s Day and hope that you’re enjoying this special day with your loved ones!  I’ve just made some coffee and am sitting here on our porch enjoying a beautiful, breezy Sunday morning with Buster, Peanut, and Jazz (no, they’re not our kids …

It’s the weekend!!

Hope you guys are having a great Saturday morning!  I’m dragging a little after performing at Lulu’s last night … as usual, it was another fun night!  You never know what to expect at that place – one minute it’s dead and the next it’s packed and jumping.  Our friends, Yutaka and Yuriko, excited the …

It’s Aloha Friday!

Ahhhh .. our Manoa weather has finally returned – cool, brisk tradewinds and morning rain showers!  It’s so wonderful after all the heat we’ve had lately … even the birds’ chirping sounds happier!  Well, it’s Friday and that means Lulu’s tonight!  I really look forward to Lulu’s because it’s a great way to end the …

Oh, What a Night … !

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 …

It’s June!!!

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 …
