I ran into a Taropatcher the other day who confided that he will be playing at Obama's Inauguration Day Celibration. I will leave it to him to fill you in on the details, but just in case you happen to have the TV on that day, watch for three Hawaiian guys. Evidently, our new president enjoys Hawaiian music.

Kind of makes me proud...
Aloha,

I had a hunch was going be 9/11 Pentagon hero (and TP member) Isaac Ho'opi'i and the "Aloha Boys", but wasn't sure because their website shows four members in their group, but they will be there.

When you read about Isaac Ho`opi`i, you will surely understand why he deserves such an honor. I've posted about him on here previously. Chicken skiin. And when we wen holoholo Washington for Makaha Sons last year, Isaac was the emcee. Mana.

Howzit,

The 4th guy in Aloha Boys, Ramon Camarillo, is also originally from Hawaii. He is a very talented ukulele player and singer, not to mention my high school classmate from Pearl City . Da buggah was great back then too!

Aloha,

Doug
