Congratulations to Uncle Dennis. Such a beautiful, poetic soul. Some of the songs he wrote when young, amaze me at the depth of emotional maturity. I am awestruck!

For a "Lifetime" award, Dennis Kamakahi is "young", barely in his fifties. Still plenny more potential!
It shows what "aloha" in motion can do. Congratulations! |
