Aloha, my friends! Our home internet connection was down during the weekend so I’m sending this blog from my office at IOLANI. Had a great time at Lulu’s last Friday night – it was our first time back after many weeks on the road. It was great to see a lot of you there, especially …
Good morning! Wind is howling up here in the valley as the sun slowly comes up over the mountains. I love this time of year not only because it’s the holiday season, but because people always seem to be in a happier mood which is a good thing, especially in a year filled with so …
Hey everybody, It’s Thursday, Nov. 17th, which means it’s exactly one week til Thanksgiving and the official kick-off to the holiday season! That also means that 2012 is just around the corner … wow, it seems the older I get the faster the years go by. I’ve been truly blessed to have such a wonderful …
Hey peeps, Well, my Kona “buzz” came to a swift and violent end yesterday. Since my shoulder was feeling pretty good, I decided to play some squash yesterday with my lunch gang. I hadn’t played much in the last six months, so I felt a little disoriented and was having some trouble with my footwork. …
Aloha, all! It’s Monday evening and Carla and I just returned from a wonderful weekend on the Big Island which included ManoaDNA’s appearance at Danny Akaka’s “Twilight at Kalahuipua’a” over at the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel. Like I told you guys in my previous blog, this event is the highlight of the year for us …
Happy Aloha Friday, my friends! It’s 6:30am here in Manoa and the wind and rain are howling outside! Pretty blustery weather for this APEC weekend … We’re off to Kona today which is great since APEC has pretty much taken over the place, and it’s the full moon weekend which means we’ll be performing at …
Aloha, peeps! Feels like the holiday season has finally arrived … weather’s cooler and there’s been a lot of wind and rain recently. I love this time of year, especially the cool, clear wintry mornings when the temperatures frequently drop into the “freezing” 60°+ range! Sometimes it actually dips BELOW that and hits 59°- brrrrr! …
Wassup! No, no – I’m not talking about the new video game that just came out … it’s about this cold virus that I got in Japan and now my whole family has it! Alex was its latest victim, waking up yesterday morning with a sore throat and body ache. Damn … this virus is …
‘Morning, all. Boy, if it’s not one thing it’s another. Just as my voice finally starts to make a comeback, I now have a cough that just won’t quit! I had this same cough earlier in the year … totally out of control and lasts forever. Last night, we performed at an APEC welcome reception …
Good morning, everyone! It’s Monday, Nov. 7th, and the start of another great week here in paradise. The APEC conference starts today and things should get pretty crazy around here, especially in the Waikiki area. But in spite of all the hassles, this event gives Hawai’i a chance to showcase itself to the world as …
