Bill Campbell is in Williamsburg, VA. http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/campbell
Fran is right. Wolf Trap may be your best bet even though probably a couple hours from you. Hapa will be there around April. Ledward Kaapana, Dennis Kamakahi and many others have performed there.
WV not VA, but Patrick Landeza has taught at http://augustaheritage.com in the past. Not sure if he has plans to return but you might look into it. |

Shakabrah - you are too modest about your brother in the Washington, DC area. Is he not kaulana for playing with the Aloha Boys who performed at Wolf Trap? Moreover, he performed with grace and courage on September 11, 2001 at the Pentagon, helping to rescue folks as a result of the terrorist acts that infamous day. He was honored with the appropriate accolades as a hero. God bless him for his heroism and God bless your family for their selflessness in sharing their talents with the world. One of my favorite songs is "Hawaiian Rainbow". Even here in cold Cleveland, OH, we share our several CDs and DVDs of the Ho`opi`i Bros. with our family and friends so they can feel the aloha as well.
Mahalo.

Hey Ivan,
You're modest too! Sorry, I forgot to mention Isaac. Hope to chat or catch up with you soon. |

| Speaking of Augusta Heritage, the schedule for this year's workshops has been posted to their web site. Mary Flowers runs Guitar Week. Some of the Guitar Week instructors have been posted, but no word about Patrick. We sure hope so. Paul wrote him an e-mail to see if he is planning on returning as an instructor and we are hoping to hear from Patrick. If he does, I am sure his classes will be much larger than he had last year. He is truly a magnificent teacher who shares not only his technical expertise, but his aloha as well. I strongly urge you to review Augusta's web site shown above. Hint: the Graceland Inn is a wonderful place to stay right on campus. The place is beautiful -- all victorian era furnishings and a wonderful restaurant serving a great free breakfast every morning. Better than staying in a dorm room and eating dining hall food. Trouble is, I think there are only 11 rooms in the place. |
