Hi folks,
Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm 45 years old. I've been interested in and enjoying hawaiian music and culture since I was 16 when my highschool girlfreind ( now my wife of 23 years ) invited me to stop by the hula studio she danced at. Wow! beautiful girls, great music, I was hooked. I played a little guitar at the time, but not a lot. Got married a few years later and while on our honeymoon in Kailua Kona I picked up Keola's first book ( the one with the plastic record stapled inside)and made my first attempts at slack key ( with out much success ) Then a couple years later along came my beautiful little girl and the guitar went into the closet.
Flash forward 19 years. My daughters in college, and my wife and I go to see Ozzie Kotani this past April, bought his book, got the guitar out of the closet and have not put it down since.
And now for a long overdue Mahalo to Raymond Stovich.
I found out about Raymond on a visit to taropatch and gave him a call. I met with him back in January and he patiently spent over 3 hours sharing his knowledge and love of ki ho alu. I can not stress enough how this has helped me. To actualy set down with someone and have it explained and SHARED . That time with Raymond has propelled my progress and I will definately shedule some more time with him soon.
Sorry for such a long intro. I promise my future post won't rambell on
Mahalo

| Thanks for the kind words. People were, and continue to be, generous to me, and I'm happy to keep that part of the tradition alive. |
