Auntie Wanda and Uncle Paul,
We had such a wonderful time with you folks. It gave us some great opportunities to get together with Uncle Duke them too. My heart is still singing that Jambalaya song Uncle Paul sings so well.
Please keep us posted on your surgery. We will all be thinking of you and Uncle Paul with warm aloha!
A Hui Hou,
Lanet

It is our pleasure to announce that the Waimea Valley Kanikapila is on! We hope that everyone will attend the event on September 20th, and ongoing from there on the third Sunday of each month. The grounds are beautiful, and everyone is welcome to come out and play music, or just come out and listen.
Food and beverages will need to be purchased on the premises. There is a little plate lunch place with really good food. Here's a link to the menu: http://www.waimeavalley.net/menus.aspx Please feel free to check out our new Kanikipila home too: http://www.waimeavalley.net/facility_rentals.aspx
With Much Aloha,
The Abrigo 'Ohana |

You will love Waimea Valley when you have the kanikapila there. It is a wonderful place -- beautiful, peaceful, powerful. This was one of the original ahupua`a of O`ahu and had three heiau -- it was major sacred ground. If you go there fore the first time, please avail yourself of the guided walks with a historical guide. You will learn much, so much that I am sure you will want to do further reading and research.

Here is a link to our photobuck account which has pictures from the various music happenings while we were there - the Kaka`ako kanikapila, the Slack Key Festival, the various folks who played at Kani Ka Pila Grill, and lots of pictures of Waimea Valley.
Some handsome pictures of Duke and Day and Derek and Jonathan and Uncle Braddah an Shawn and Terry, and on and on and on. Some pictures of aloha, if you ask me.
Thank you all for treating us so well and making this a vacation that we shall never forget. OK, I am ready to come back. Too bad my pocketbook is not yet ready. |
Me ke aloha
Malama pono,

Fran - are you going to visit O`ahu? Wow, the fun you can have! Plus you canhold your own with these wonderful musicians.
You guys should go to the Waimea Valley web site that Lanet listed above. Check out the history of the area. Read what has happened to the land since the Great Mahele. |

I'm there, sister. Already had a kimchee burger at Big City Diner, started making the hookup with Duke, picked up my guitar from my buddy, got a start on a sunburn. Sorry our timing was off, it would have been great to see you and Paul again.

Hey Fran,
Cool that you are going to make the Waimea Kani. Look forward to meeting you in person. If I'm not mistaken the Kani will start at 1:00 and end at 4:00.

Aloha,
The Waimea Valley Kanikapila will be from 1 to 4 p.m. The sound check will begin around noonish. Everyone will be happily and lovingly greeted by the Waimea Valley staff. You will sign in to the guest book, and you will be asked to sign a short waiver. Here's the waiver so you all can make sure you're cool with it. Nothing in there about music, or music rights, just liability kine stuffs:

Thanks Mama Abrigo! I appreciate all you do! I also thank the Waimea folks for letting us jam up there. Also, thanks to both for posting the necessary legal stuff. We all need to respect and sign and be gracious guests. Mahalo.
Having said that, I officially declare open season for the humorists among the taropatch 'ohana to start taking jabs at the above legalese. Please nothing offensive, I just love to poke fun at lawyers is all! ;)
Note that, though Waimea "may be unstable, uneven, overgrown or unsafe", the same can be said for yours truly.

Aloha Kakou
I want to send a big mahalo nui loa to makuahine Lanet for setting Waimea Valley up for all of us. Also Derek "Ho'okani" and makuakane Timi for working the sound system.
The Waimea site is perfect for the kanikapila. Lots of room for musicians and other guests. The staff members were very helpful. Mai ka'i loa.
We had some new and not so new taro patchers, and lots and lots of music. Looking foward to the next one 10/18/09.
