It only features two winners this time, Maui's Kalani Benanua and Kaua`i's Elijah Issac, four songs from each. But the rest of the disc features one cut from each of the four 2006 inductees into the Hall of Fame: Benny Kalama, Kahauanu Lake, Dennis Pavao & John Piilani Watkins. |

Aloha Festivals Hawaiian Falsetto Contest on O'ahu
Friday, September 28, 2007 7:00pm
Sheraton Waikiki Hotel Kaua`i & Maui Ballrooms
Indeed, I will be there and will perform several numbers with another winner emeritus, Lawrence Pau. I will also be doing an interview promoting the falsetto contest with Harry B. Soria on the KGMB Morning Show this Thursday, 9/27 at 6:00am.
This has been an amazing two weeks in Hawai`i, actually. In what I call the "Musicians Exchange Program," while Hoku Zuttermeister was on my coast with the Makaha Sons and our admin, I stood in for Hoku at the last minute on a gig with Keao Costa. I have also been at the Halekulani Hotel's House Without A Key for the last two Saturdays with the Jeff Au Hoy Trio - filling in on bass - and will be there again this Saturday, 9/29 from 5:00 until 8:30pm - this time on guitar for regular guitarist Hale Seabury-Akaka who will be on Kaua`i with the Mokihana Festival.
