Eh Gordon!
Thanks for getting me through the last legs of our trip home on the redeye! It was a great way to endure SFO before connecting on home. I will send you more pix shortly to prove that you really there, indeed. Yes, it was like a dream, wasn't it? A wonderful one at that!

Welcome back everyone. Gordon, do you mean this post? http://www.taropatch.net/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2744
Everything looks the same to me. Maybe you came back from camp with a fresh outlook?!?!  |

Man, it must be late and I must be tired. I had just typed in most of a message, contemplated misusing a smiley, and sent my message into the ether somewhere... .
My family and I were on the extended-extended camp plan: an extra week on Moloka`i. It was a good thing! We got back on Monday (July 4th) and I've been meaning to get on the patch and say Aloha ever since. Now it is Thursday and there is more profound political ugliness trying to snap me back into the "real world." Maybe the aloha is more important now than ever.
A big mahalo to all who have shared their pics from both camps so far. Mine are on film and just got turned in for processing today.
I got to talk with a lot of people in Kaunakakai and Mauna Loa about the camp and Hawai`ian music. Kevin your ears might have been burning. Lots of people looking forward to your playing at the festival this coming weekend.
We saw a few people from camp during the first couple of days following the official close of the extended camp and hung out a little with Don (who was at camp) and his wife Diane (who was not). They had dinner at our place one night and we all hiked out to Mo`omomi Preserve the next day. What a great place!.
We left Moloka`i on Sunday (3rd) for the long, short night home. After the nightmare of having to reclaim all of our luggage (13 pieces total--does it get better as kids get older???) and get through the ag inspection in the middle of a deluge of other travelers (luggage falling of of carts and our exhausted little girls unable to keep out of peoples' way...) we found out that we were seated in first class!! Life was looking up again--maybe United was making up for losing all of our checked luggage, including my guitar for 24 hours on the flight in. Then after clearing security, while we were walking down the covered open-air corridor to our gate, we were treated to the last 5 minutes of a very nice fireworks display somewhere over Honolulu. A whole new meaning to Honolulu City Lights.
So we are back, pushing our way back into the real world, but I am still awash with the aloha from the camp and all the fantastic instructors and fellow campers with whom we shared the experience. It was about many things, but mostly it was about Aloha. What the world needs now is more of that. May we continue to live it and, in our own ways, spread it. Kevin, extend another extra Aloha for me to Moloka`i when you play there this weekend!

So for those of you who knew that my son Corey was going to London, England right after George's camp: he checked out the Guitar Institute and flew back to the good ole' United of States on the Fourth of July, so he missed the bombings. He's OK but exhausted and jetlagged. Thank God he left London in time.
Aloha, Julie |

aloha all,
I've downloaded my recordings via my iPod/iTalk and in fact, it works quite well for the teeney system it is... I learned some things - like I should have ID-ed what I was recording...
but that's not the point - I could hear the rain, and remembering staying dry under the tarps and sometimes stopping a moment so we could hear. and I remembered Terri playing her ocarina and realize I didn't get a good sound byte - did you get one for your big CD, Dave? to me, that was amazing - her making it, playing it - really cool!! so many good sounds, so many unexpected delights.
Mahalo all who made it possible,

Ah. Ocarina. My first encounter with an ocarina was at Lark Camp in Mendocino last August. I was bone tired and went to my RV to lie down for an afternoon nap, when this huge rumble occurred just behind my RV! It was a whole Ocarina Orchestra, playing "Yellow Submarine". Of course, I had to go investigate, and ended up buying a little starter-plastic ocarina, which when I try to play it at home, sends my poor deaf, blind dog into a stunning falsetto song.
Would love to hear someone play it in Hawaiian!
Aloha nui, Julie |

Speaking of ocarinas & Lark Camp -
Teri Sugg told me she'd will be there, ocarina & all. As will Jim (the back bone of Da Swingin' Beachboys) and the amazing Robbie.
Annie & I will again host the inimitable `Ukulele Happy Hour, plus I'll teach slack key to all and sundry.
Yes, Ian & Wanda will be doing the Ocarina Band again.
I sincerely hope, Julie & Larry, that you'll join us again. On time, maybe? 
Lark is about the most fun one can have: http://www.larkcamp.com/
A hui hou!

Yes, this year I won't be making the same mistake I did last year. That is thinking that the second half of camp would start Thursday instead of Tuesday. !!! Can't believe I did that. This year we are supposed to be there at the start. Providing, of course, that my job doesn't stand in the way of all that fun, or I may be late once again.
Warming up my steel guitar. That slack-key one is giving me too much trouble.
See y'all up there! Julie |
