I met Duke in person after years of Taropatch posts at a huge Oahu Kanikapila. Quite an experience, both the Kanikapila and meeting Duke.
Taropatch hooked me up for a visit to Neej's place for a kanikapila there when I happened to be in the area for a week.
Lots of other folks crossed my path through Taropatch... Jerry Sullivan, Fran Guidry, Doug Wong, Wanda and Paul of course, to name a few.
But the post below is the contribution of Taropatch that most significantly changed my music and my musical life. It took me a while to find it but I won't forget that it happened. And I haven't stopped considering myself lucky to have been able to follow up on it.

Cool that you remember me & the Waimea Valley Kanikapila, Dave. But we actually first met at one of Patrick Landeza's Slack Key immersion workshops. I don't remember the name of the Waikiki hotel but I believe it was Cyril Pahinui's slack key workshop & he was teaching how to arppegiate chords in Atta's C. I think that was the first year Patrick did those immersion workshops. The next year Cyril taught at his niece's home which was where Gabby's old house was.
That year I met you I also met Les Wong, Jack Keane, Diane Rigoli & a bunch of others. Sorry I can't name the others, my memory ain't what it used to be |

@ Mika'ele........I think you also attended a good sized kanikapila at Kaka'ako Waterfront Beach Park. I think it's where we first met.
Also, I didn't try to pass on mana'o on Ozzie's unique take on the G6th tuning. Can't be because I can't play anything in it. Bwuahahaha!!! I'm almost positive I tried to give you pointers on Gabby's favorite tuning which is the C6th. Great memories.
Ask me how I remember? You brought 2 Ted's Chocolate Haupia pies to the kanikapila on both occasions. |

Hey Duke. If you can remember more than a couple people that were at Cyril's workshop that year, you are doing really good. It was packed, noisy and hectic. The kanikapila was that same year and probably 2 or 3 days later. I remember you specifically because you left your spot in the circle to greet us personally.
Unfortunately I missed Patrick's second immersion.
All that, and the people from that you mentioned, were an indirect result of Taropatch since I met most of them (and still see them occasionally) through Patrick.
Huge spider web network of music and aloha thanks to Andy and Taropatch. |

| Taropatch has been a revelation and a salvation to all of us that support Hawaiian music. It has been the piko,the mothership,the facilitator and instigator for us all. A pohaku in the heiau of Hawaiian music. |
"The music of the Hawaiians, the most fascinating in the world, is still in my ears and
haunts me sleeping and waking."
