Usually we get a visit by Hapa, or Keola, or SOMEONE...
Boulder, Denver, Ft. Collins, or maybe even New Mexico...
Haven't seen one this year...
It's cold and we need friends and music from warm places...
any leads, rumours, or news out there?

| Gordon - sometimes you just gotta make your own music and listen to the CDs. Also get some performance DVDs like the Makaha Sons and Keali`i Reichel. Or else you just gotta go elsewhere for a little hele fo' da mele. We have the lack of live Hawaiian music here in Cleveland but I play my Hawaiian CDs in the house and in the car and sing them when I ain't playing the professionally recorded stuff. It helps to have a husband who plays slack key, too. |

| I loved Colorado! I played music in Cherry Creek mall and performed at a place called "the Fort" and ate my first musk oxen, rattle snake, beeffalo, and not too bad alligator. We have friends that have been visiting Hawaii from colorado and they took us fishing at a private lake...full moon...no bites then all of a sudden the clouds set in and bammmm hana paʻa. Ho plus we had chef tylan pang wit us and he made dis sweet and sour sauce dat was broke da mouth even if was fresh wata fish. Got to see Broncoʻs play Raiders at Mile High and watched my first real Hockey game Avalanch VS Canooks. I remember driving thru a snow storm for the first time and it looked like a scene out of Star trek or star wars wit the snow coming at us like stars or meteors...very very cold for dis island boy...anyting below 70 and double up da bbdʻs. People really love Hawaiian music all over the world...we so lucky & blessed. |

In all my 57 +years I never lived more than 10 miles from where I do now, outside Cleveland, Ohio. But I still don't like much under 60 degrees, and I never take the garbage out in shorts &slippers this time of year.

I wish Keoki and maybe his dad, or Ozzie would come play here...
a few good places, but probably not financially great with travel and limited support gigs to make it work...
But summers are the best...
In the summer, the resorts have ramped-up concerts and arts to bring in summer action...
While it can spit snow, even in Summer, it's a dry cold...
and we got some fish, no wild pigs, and maybe we can get those mountain resort symphonies (Vail, Keystone, Crested Butte and Steamboat have summer symphonies comprised of summer artists on leave from big cities) to do some POPS concerts with SLACK KEY artists...
Everyone can wear their Alpaca Aloha shirts...or perform in the daytime...
also there's also that week in July when it's warm!
Those white specs from sky, don't worry, that's just the Mountain Giants dandruff falling.
