The last time we flew to the mainland I downloaded some movies in the Disney app to watch, but couldn’t access them because I didn’t have internet on the plane and couldn’t login. Seeing if I can get around that this time.


I was doing some research on Julia Nui’s Kama`aiana’s and came across this ad from 1936. $.50 steak meal. Juila was born in 1902. A soprano singer and instrumentalist over four decades.

There’s a big Catholic church in Kona, on Alii drive right in the middle of town. The parking lot always has lots of big SUVs and trucks in it as well as a noticeable number of luxury type cars. Religion and protecting the enviroment don’t quite go together.


Community Service message, if you’re driving in Kona today and on Kuakini Hwy going in the Kohala Direction. HPD are up to their old tricks, one officer hiding in the pulmeria tree by Kona brew, 2 more with ticket books down the road. Saw a couple of guys pulled over. Put your phone down.

Executive orders are not laws, but they act like law for the executive branch, as long as they’re within legal bounds.

Ask and you shall recieve. It took a couple of weeks, but I just got a link to this collection of 72 songs with George Kainapau; The Royal Hawaiian Serenaders; Alvin Kaleolani Isaacs; Benny Kalama; Tommy Castro; Alvin Kaleoani; The Royal Hawaiians; The Royal Hawaiian Serenade. An all star group


I’m also adding lyrics when I can find them to Hawaiian song in my collection.


So many Hawaiian albums in Apple music have the date of re-release. I’m changing the one I find to the original release date. At least it will be correct in my collection.


Have this classic from 1951 in my collection.

George Kainapau became a falsetto phenomenon in the 1930s when microphones improved the ability to hear the singer’s voice. He was known as “Hawaii’s Falsetto King”


My Great Grandfather a year after he arrived in the US. He was born in Parma Italy and died in Brockton, Mass


Now watching Margin Call, because we’re going there again, and I like Stanley Tucci
