| That sounds like a great schedule and the addition of Tommy on the staff was a great move. My son Erich is already excited about coming back. |

Aloha kakou -
I just want to alert everybody to something very exciting that is in the planning stages for the June Aloha Music Camp.
Ever since we made the move to Moloka`i, we have been looking for some way to give back to the community that has been so welcoming. After discussions with the Beamer `ohana and some of Molokai's kupuna, we've arrived at the idea of presenting a Ho`ike (a concert to show what you have learned) for the community following the June camp.
This would be an opportunity for you to show our hosts what you have learned about Hawaiian music, dance and culture; both at camp and through your continued studies. As one who played for the community at the first Moloka`i slack key festival, I can tell you the feeling coming back from the crowd was amazing. Three years later I still have people stop me on the street in Kaunakakai and tell me what it meant to them that someone from the Mainland had taken the time to study and share!
Here's a broad outline: the ho`ike will take place the Saturday immediately following camp. Both Keola and Moana will present their students & we'll ask our other kumu to do the same. We'll leave room for individuals and small groups, too. It will be a free event with full concert staging and publicity. We're checking into doing it in Kaunakakai in order to reach the greatest number of people.
We've got a lot to do between now and then - including completing a grant application - but I want to invite anyone who'd like to be a part to contact me so I can begin planning.
Sound like fun? You bet! |

Yup, sounds like fun. Count on me & Susy to make (further) fools of ourselves there <EG> |

Aloha and howdy, all! 
I'd be interested in knowing how many TP-ers attended camp to learn both ukulele and slack key and -- how did you juggle schedules.
I think my wife, Tami, and I will be doing intermediate ukulele and I'm just now learning slack key from Ozzie's book, as well as from Keola and Mark's book.
Mahalo and Peace.
See you in June,

Davey, it depends on the schedule that Mark comes up with. There are many logistical demands that require him to juggle things around, but it is probably possible to do both. A year ago, I could have done both, but decided to concentrate on `ukulele only. Partly it was determined by my torn and scarred wrist and hand tendons, partly it was because I already had a handle on slack key, but it was also because I wanted to really practice what was being taught AND to take part in all the other cultural and social activities that were going on. (When can you meet an actual honest-to-God real cowboy and have him tell you all about his life? When can you enter a mala and have your wife chant to the piko in proper fashion just before you weed the lo`i? When can you talk story with old friends and new? When can you enjoy jams of all sorts? And on and on...) It was, and is, also possible to have one on one instruction by a kumu. Kaliko did that. Pat Cockett came over to our platform and repeated an hours worth of special instruction in step by step guitar tuning variations and their special qualities. A mind blower that I know everybody is still trying to absorb.
You will find your cup runneth over, but don't let it runneth over you :-)

Reid:
Again, thanks for the info. Yes, we're looking forward to the jams and the culture and, well -- all of it.
Both Tami and I are new to Hawaiian music -- if not Hawaii -- and don't know too many tunes, as yet. As a couple, we perform folk and Celtic music. Looking forward to learning new songs in new styles. Are the jams specific to Hawaiian msuic? |

Davey, you like Western Swing? How about North Carolina roadhouse music (without the broken bottle fights :-)? Maybe North Bay chalangalang? Whatever floats your boat, Davey.
A very accomplished guitarist of the Celtic persuasion (Danny Boy) almost never got out of DADGAD, it seems, last year. He had much to contribute musically, and personally, and in the ho`ike he played a lovely Irish song and it was in Open G and, until then, he never knew it was really called Taropatch. True. (But, I hope you will make an attempt to dispense with your brogue and become another kind of islander.)
If Keola Donaghy (the first person I know who got a PhD, with a thesis totally in Hawaiian) can leave Hilo and learn Gaelic in Ireland, you can leave moku honua and try to learn the essentials of being Hawaiian. Don't be shy.

Aloha Kakou! Looks like the Aloha Music Camp will be great this year. Thanks for the info. I thinking about it but I am unsure at this time.

That would be Danny Carnahan. Current band, Wake the Dead http://www.wakethedead.org/index.html, is more fun than several barrels of monkeys. Or Monkees, if you prefer.
And yes, it will be a terrific camp this June. Space is still available, but we are beginning to fill up. Do come join us -- fun will be had.
cheers,
Mark |

Hi Mark,
I'm sure Taylor would enjoy participating in the Saturday night "performance." I'm just wondering what the lodging options would be for that Saturday night.
