Is it now official, Hapakid's coming for sure to your place? I thought he was doing the D'nsy-land thingee.

Hi Rik and Socal players,
My family and I will be flying out of LAX Saturday (April 2) evening (after four glorious days of Disney mania), and Auntie Nancy kindly extended an invitation to visit, so we'llspend a few hours at her place before we catch an 8:10 p.m. flight back to the Inland Northwest.
I would love to meet other Taropatchers if you're around. Time will be tight and my young sons may be cranky, but I would love to play some music.
Mahalo nui loa to Nancy.

WOW!!
What shear joy it is to host a kani ka pila!!! We were lucky enough to have Jesse Tinsley, his wife Honey Jean and wildcats - er - Keiki Colby and Rogan in town. Rik Nieves came early and stayed late to help and brought coconut cake from King's Hawai'ian. It's so good to see Bill and Vicki Bensel again - yummy lemon bars. True to his word, Nick the Pilot came prepared with books, words, guitar, ukulele and how that boy can sing!!! He and Jesse are guite a pair!! Bill knows so much and is sure good at trouble shooting problems. And Jeff Watson came!! He just got back to the 'patch so watch for him. He's an interesting guy and plays an awesome steel guitar - first time I'd actuallly seen one up close. Hey, Rachel brought C-Patch up to see us too!! I always love seeing those two; what fun!! Doug had a busy schedule with keiki 1st birthday, but he made time for us too - oh his nahenahe songs!!! And some friends of mine from the neighborhood came by - more hapakids! Between Rik, Bill and Doug, they will have the daughter, also Rachel, playing slack key in the very near future. So we really did sit out and make music on the back porch. There were so many songs - most slack key, but some regular tuning, some old folk songs, songs of the West - Thanks all - it was a very special day for me.
And we know HapaKid - Jesse's coming back..... he left his sunglasses.

Thanks, Auntie Nancy! Much fun was had by all, especially me. I guess I don't need my sunglasses, because I'm back in cold, dark Idaho!
It was my treat to meet Bill, Doug, Rik, Nick, Jeff, Cpatch, Rachel, yourself and so many great folks from this forum and elsewhere. I got to hear Bill play "I Nehinei". Rik pulled out some sweet tunes from Ozzie's book. Jeff can make you cry with his matching set of tricone guitars. Nick knows more songs and sings louder than me, imagine that! Doug plays a nahenahe classical guitar with a large repertoire of beautiful songs. Cpatch claimed his couldn't play, then spent hours plinking on the piano!
I haven't gone wrong meeting anyone who frequents this place. You're all great!
Mahalo nui loa!

Hey, I never claimed I couldn't play...just that I HADN'T played in months! And if you actually listened to me plinking on the piano (trying to memorize a piece Nick was teaching me), you would have realized I should have picked up a guitar.  (Rachel memorized her part in 5 minutes, of course.)
It was great to finally meet you, and to hang with everyone else. Lots of talented musicians, great singing, good food, and fun times. Mahalo Nancy for hosting! |

My goal is to be able to play as well as people think I can. |

Good times. It was a pleasure to meet you Jesse, your wife, and keiki's. You play great, can't wait to hear your updated CD. Will look forward to your next visit for sure. Mahalo plenty to Auntie Nancy for opening up her beautiful home, not to mention all the great food. (wished I could of eaten the sweets, but i'm in trainning. :-( )
Your all so talented musically.... one day, one day.

I guess I knew what you meant, Cpatch, I just said it wrong. I have the TP.net CD set to prove you can work the taropatch, too.
Slkho, I kinda guessed what your nickname meant, I just wasn't sure if you did!
I hope I wasn't too much of a "song hog"--with only four hours of kanikapila, I wanted to sing every Hawaiian song I knew! I almost did it, too.
Thanks again, everybody...
Jesse Tinsley

Cpatch,
I wish you had been able to do some recording, although the group was a little ragged (except Bill B).
Can you post or email what your travelling recording rig is made up of? I lost track after you said I-River...

Hey Jesse - Those sunglasses are too wide for me... and they're prescription - so I'll save them for you. Come back soon!!
We did have a lot going on - Rachel P got a piano lesson and Rachel K got a slack lesson! but the most memorable part to me was seeing you hula!
How much snow there now? Crystal clear and warm here - still shorts and barefoot.

Auntie!
Thanks again for having all of us over to your house. I would like to get down to all the shindigs in San Diego, but it is a little far. Let me know when you are ready to host us again!
P.S. Does anyone know when another kanikapila will happen in the valley...?

Auntie!
Any of those dates sound good to me! Just let us know when, and I am sure we can get a group of people together.
And, if Rachel is up to it, maybe she can get her first ever hula lesson! |
