Aloha Kakou,
I just wanted to announce some good news...
My CD Ho’omalie won the Hawaiian Album of the year in the “Just Plain Folks” music awards. You can find a rather nice description of what this is all about at:
http://www.jpfolks.com/AwardsArticle.pdf
The awards page showing all the winners of various categories are at:
http://www.jpfolks.com/MusicAwards/2006/Winners/Album.htm
I think it’s great that they have a Hawaiian category, and we are not lumped in to “Word Music” which can get very confusing. Now if we can just get them to start a Slack Key category! Mahalo to anyone out there who voted. This is a great organization for those of us who try our best to record quality music, without the benefits of being part of the big label corporate machine. A hui hou…
Ray

| In this era of "techno" and sampling, it's good that "handmade" music is recognized. Congrats! |
