| If they pick up an instrument or if they sing and share their music and their mana`o like Uncle "T" we met in Waikiki, then that is good enough for me. |

I always thought Sharpies were permanent markers, but the signatures have been fading since I got them signed. Oh well.

Aloha e Jessie, I think Rik (slkho) puts a thin coat of lacquer over his - - maybe contact and ask... He works with those materials in making ipus and other art objects.
HML-06 - - your second list is interesting in the names you've omitted..... |

Pondering this question, I realized how fortunate I am to be living on the Island that is Central Oregon and have the priviledge of seeing all these performers while never leaving the mainland. Maybe one day I'll be able to enjoy them, and others, in Hawaii.

Moon, John, and Jerome - Makaha Sons
Nathan and Barry - Hapa
George Kuo

Many.
I've been very fortunate in that area, to have had countless opportunities to meet and work with Island musicians.
(I won't list 'em here, as I've taken flak for doing so in other fora. Suffice it to say, so many of them have been wonderful people to be around.) |

Me too. From music camps to concerts to garage jams, I've been fortunate to meet all kinds of musicians. The fun thing about this forum is that you get to meet everyone from amateur to professional.
I've got an old ukulele that I had lots of musicians autograph for fun. Haven't taken it around much lately since it's running out of space and I'm lazy. Those of you that get your guitars signed are smart -- more surface area.  Mine hasn't faded but the `ukulele is more of a toy so it doesn't get played. |

| But you sure do not see many chickens walkin around with a ukulele under there wing. Being out there on the west coast I bet you get a lot more Haaiian music than you ever heard back here. :-) |

| Aloha again Nancy, one other thing we have here in Ca that you don't have is earthquakes. 8:04pm, 5.6 on the Richter Scale. Epicenter was in the Alum Rock area of San Jose. It was a real roller. Lasted about 8 to 10 seconds. Long and strong enough to get us both headed for the front door. No damage. Just a little Chicken Skin. |
