_____________________________________________________
I grew up in the little town of Wailuku, where life was simple. We'd go to Grandma's house and run around in the yard while listening to my grandfather, the late Walter Chong Kee, and his sons Ken and Stan play Hawaiian music on guitars. Gabby Pahinui albums were always playing on our Hi-Fi stereo. Mom would often join in on `ukulele. I began playing `ukulele in the third grade, then took up guitar in the sixth grade. It was always just a hobby for me.
I graduated from the University of Oregon with a degree in business, and spent the next eight years in accounting working for an international CPA firm.
In 1998, I was lucky enough to win the Ki ho`alu division of a state-wide competition called "KCCN Pride of the Islands" (with my original composition, A Cruise to Keanae). I soon began gigging on Maui's wedding and convention circuit full-time, and have been stress-free ever since!
In 2002 I met a gracious couple who loved ki ho`aolu - David and Beth Yudovin. They arranged a concert for me in the beautiful California seaside town of Cambria. It was held in a romantic restaurant called The Hamlet on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
This is a live recording of that concert.

Wanda,
How about ordering from Doug??
He's trying hard to spread ki ho'alu here on the mainland. |

| As yet, neither this nor the Tia Carrera CD are being supplied to retailers here in Hawai`i -- so yes, do order them from Doug! |

Wow! I may just have to pick that up! It sounds like a great CD. BTW, your playing and singing on those clips is maika'i no. Keep up the great work.
Mahalo,
