This is a nice throw back. 1975. Bill Lincoln and a very young Alan Akaka on Steel Guitar. Also Kauana Pukahi and James Papa
I’m almost 66 and could lose a few pounds, but otherwise healthy. Have been looking forward to my post-work years, however many years that is, but it’s getting very difficult to remain hopeful about the future.
Seeing a round of posts about to do apps again. Seems to cycle around every now and then. I haven’t change my set up in at least 10 years.
I’m not a gamer, so I came to “Last of Us” via the series. One of the attractions was Pedro Pascal. Regular shows don’t kill off the hero before the end, but this isn’t a regular show.
The first recording of Hawaiian music. 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair. The Royal Hawaiian Troubadours perform “Aole Wau E Paoina Iaoe”.

Came across this old Hawaii PBS show from 1980 with Charles K. L. Davis. What a talent.
If you’ve never heard the origin story of the song Heha Waipi’o that was the song Hālau Nā Kamalei o Līlīlehua performed in the Merrie Monarch `Auana lat night.
This was chicken skin by Hālau Nā Kamalei O Līlīlehua last night.
With all of the attention on Hilo, Take some time and watch this PBS Hawaii profile on Hilo from 1988. I fondly remember this era of Hilo. www.youtube.com/watch
Hālau Mōhala ʻIlima ‘Auana was so elegant. Love the choice of Alii ‘Iolani
When were driving to Hilo this morning I saw so many trucks with OC-1s on top heading to Kona. On the way back home this afternoon, we saw the same thing going back the other way. That was me for 20 years.
