The thing with older Hawaiian music is no one tried to sound like anyone else. They were meticulous about Hawaiian pronunciation and inflection. Harmonies were all tight. Lots of rehearsal I assume.
Companies and famous people are going to realize this time is different.
Siding with or acquiescing to Trump et al is not a simple misdemeanor. We’ll hold a grudge. They’re coming after us for what we think and taking away things we hold dear. Don’t be part of the problem, be part of the solution
This is where Honolulu screwed up. Mufi’s folly (if you know, you know). Should have done a street level trolley. Would have been able to go to UH and maybe Kaimuki and Waialae, and expand to Hawaii Kai.

I can watch prettty much any MLB or even a competitive minor game, though my allegiance will be adjusted accordingly. Love to see the Yankees, Giants or the Fathers (Padres) lose. I just love the flow and verve of a game, even a pitchers duel with awesome back up in the field.
I came across this CD from this 1993 concert at the Waikiki Shell. I missed it completely. It was 2 years after I moved to Hawaii Island and it wasn’t even on my radar. It was the first show the Makaha Son played after IZ left the group. The dropped “of Ni’ihau” from the group name.
I’m so frustrated with my Sonos system. More specifically the App. It’s not letting me choose which speaker to lead the group. Tries to force a different one. Arrrggghh
Sorry Podcasters, I don’t listen to podcasts since the election. Used to have quite the diverse playlist. I have Hawaiian and Island music in my library spanning 80 years. My music makes me happy among the rest of the doom and gloom.
Subscribed to the Atlantic. How could I not. When the Guardian comes up for renewal in February I may opt out.
What’s trippy, is. if yoi watch, you can see volcanic debris falling by the camera.
Kiss me love by the Kalima Brothers 1946
And by the Makaha Sons of Ni’ihau 1999
My arts and crafts project. Not sure if holding a sign on a highway in Kailua Kona will have any effect, but maybe a small part of a national movement can nudge the needle
