John Keawe is on the mainland for the January 29 gig. But, there will plenty else you can do.
My advice is to visit the places listed above. Then go play in a park nearby. Or, go to the beach near sunset and play your tunes there. People will eventually find you
My sly advice:
1) Get out of Kona - no offense to Bob - but it is a BIG island.
2) Don't rent the white Jeep - I think it is legal to shoot at them.
Bob, is there a "rent a wreck" in Kona?
3) Talk less than you play.
40 Did I say, go to the beach?
Have a great trip!
John

I had someone write me asking about music on the Big Island, and I sent them a handy recap, so I thought I should also post it here for those of you planning a trip to Kona.
