WHEN I LIVED IN OAHU FOR A FEW YEARS...USED TO GO TO ALL THE DIAMOND HEAD CRATER FESTIVALS AND LISTEN TO RADIO KIKI IN THOSE DAYS,,THATS WHEN I FIRST HEARD KEOLA AND KAPONO'S MUSIC...A WHILE LATER BACK IN OHIO I GOT KEOLAS 5 EASY PIECES FOR SLACK KEY...WELL I JUST FOUND IT IN ALL MY STUFF AND WANT TO GIVE IT A WIRL!,,WISH I COULD HEAR THESE SONGS THOUGH!..I ALSO JUST JUMPED INTO OZZIE'S BOOK!...I'M HOOKED! I ENJOY THIS SOUND ON BOTH MY ACOUSTIC AND CLASSICAL GUITARS!...HOPING SOME DAY TO GET TOGETHER A HANDFULL OF THESE TUNES AND MAYBE DO SOME COFFEHOUSES TO SPREAD THE HEART OF HAWAII! SO HAPPY TO HAVE FOUND THIS SITE! WHAT BETTER WAY TO QUENCH MY PERSISTANT ISLAND FEVER BUT LISTEN TO SLACK KEY ALL DAY LONG..AND NOW LEARNING TO PLAY IT!..JUST WISH I HAD SOMEONE TO JAM ALONG WITH...BUT LOOKS LIKE I'LL BE A LONER OUT HERE WITH THIS MUSIC STYLE!...THAT'S WHY IT'S SOOO NICE TO FIND YOU PEOPLE!
