Here we go again!

It’s another early start for us this morning.  I’m waiting for Alex & Nick to show up and we’re heading out to the North Shore for an all-day photo shoot.  We were in the studio recording until almost 1am again last night, so sleep has been a rare commodity these past few days!  We’re going …

Tuesday, Feb. 9th

Good morning, everybody!  I’m kind of dragging this morning after a very long and grueling Tuesday.  After waking up very early yesterday morning to do the TV promotion for Saturday’s Ukulele Picnic, we ended the day working in the recording studio till 1am!  We have to record 8 songs for our new Japan CD by …

Early day!

We were up at 4:30am this morning to do a TV promotion for the upcoming Ukulele Picnic on Saturday, Feb. 13th, at the Kakaako Waterfront Park.  This is the 2nd year that Southern All-Stars’ bassist, Kazuyuki Sekiguchi, and his Ukulele Foundation of Hawai’i have put this concert on in Hawai’i, although it’s been an annual …

Super Bowl Sunday!

The 2010 Super Bowl between the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints is on this afternoon!  I’m going to go and play a quick game of squash this morning and then come home for the last football game of the 2009 – 2010 season.  It should be a good game since both teams like …

Last night

Fun was had by all at the Punahou Carnival last night, although I knew I was going to have one of those nights when I started our opening song in “G” instead of “A”!  I couldn’t quite get in the groove for the rest of the set, but thank god the boys and the band …

Punahou Carnival!

The Punahou Carnival is this weekend, and since all 3 of us are graduates of Punahou it seems only fitting that ManoaDNA perform there!  We’ve performed at the carnival for the last 4 years and before that I performed with Cecilio Rodriguez of C&K, so it’s been an annual thing for me for several years!  …

Thursday golf!

It’s early Thursday morning and it’s still dark outside, but our puppies are up and running around the house like nut cases!  We had to get up at 4:30am this morning because Carla had to catch a flight to Kaua’i to shoot some video for our new IOLANI store.  It’s hard to go back to …

Feeling MUCH better!

I’m almost back to normal except for my voice.  It’ll probably be a few more days before it gets back to normal, but it should be back to 100% by this weekend … just in time for our recording sessions!  My naturopath physician gave me some medication on Monday that really seems to be knocking …

Rainy Tuesday

Aloha everyone!  It looks like the rains have returned to Manoa Valley, which is a welcome relief since the past few days have been hot, humid, and very voggy!   The only bad thing is that our puppies refuse to go outside to use the bathroom when it’s raining, so they end up doing their …

Happy February 1st!

Wow, I can’t believe it’s already February … where did January go??  I’m sure February is going to go by quickly too since it’s filled with special performances and lots of recording work.   This month, we’ll be performing at the Punahou Carnival, the Ukulele Picnic, Pakele Live, and our all-time favorite gig – Twilight @ …
