This Sunday morning I was recalling an era where we thought service station coffee was better than home coffee. Even before C-Stores, service stations had coffee.
When I recorded my vinyl albums to digital, I saved 2 versions, one by track the other as the album as it was. I love listening to Sunday Manoa as an album.
The West Hawaii Island PONY Memorial Day Tournament is in Kona this weekend. A number of families are staying at the hotel from other islands and Hilo. It was cool talking hitting theory with fathers and sons. I’ve been a student of the game for almost 60 years.
Waimea ʻUkulele and Slack Key Guitar Festival | NĀ MELE
This was a throwback from the mid 2000s. A number of these muscians have passed.
Watching Maunalua on PBS Na Mele. And old one. Always loved Maunalua. They’ve stayed true to the tradition and understand where each song came from.
At this point in my life, I don’t want learn a new trade or “advance my career” or use AI to do much of anything. I just want to get safely to retirement and read more books, find more old Hawaiian music and explore. My wife is 2 yrs younger. I can’t really retire till she does, she’s home based.
Como had made a good showing this season. Feisty bunch. Former Arsenal legend Cesc Fàbregas is their manager.
I had completely by-passed ESPN since everything worth watching is behind a cable wall. Got used to CBS sports extra. the upcoming ESPN all-inclusive bundled with Disney might be the answer.
I found these pix of the Naniloa pier. We had to do a quick repair to make it usable for a ceremony before the Voyage to Rapa Nui in 1999
