Mike and Malissa Kaawa decided they needed to get away from the balmy breezes of O`ahu and enjoy the chill and rain of a Walnut Creek December. I certainly wasn't going to argue (grin).

Mike put on his producer hat and got me to fire up the recording rig and the cameras. I was really happy with our results.

Here's "Aloha Kaua`i" as a slack and 12 string instrumental:

Mike did a vocal take of "Ua Noho Au a Kupa" and invited me to play along with my D Wahine tuning:

I do a thing I call my Honolulu Medley, with "He Aloha No O Honolulu" and "Honolulu I Am Coming Back Again" back to back. Here's an instrumental take with Mike providing full orchestral accompaniment:

I started thinking about how many videos I've collected of Mike and decided to put together a playlist. There's a variety of stuff, from Honey's gigs to Mele Mei to my backyard:

Hope you enjoy.

Thanks, gents, glad you enjoyed the clips. I plead guilty to being lucky beyond all deserving.

You've put in a lot of effort to learn to play really well, so it's really no surprise you're getting to play with the big guns :)

So, I say you do deserve it. :)
