None of you are going to be reading this for a few days, as you are all still here on the island with me... But I want to say how much joy it has brought me to be part of Camp, and to have so many musicians in my own little town!

Here are a few links to web sites that people have asked me about during the week:

"The Kona Hotel" and other songs:

Several of you enjoyed meeting "Sweetness", my short scale electric steel.

A good case for a short scale steel guitar:

Thank you so much for all your contributions at Aloha Music Camp. It was a
blast and my husband and I learned so much (me on the uke and Dick on slack
key guitar). We've been raving about you to our friend here who is learning
the steel guitar and hope we can all go to the 2010 camp!

Mahalo KonaBob for all that you contributed to this year's camp and, especially, for your beautiful song 'Kona Hotel' which we are learning to play.
Aloha,

Mahalo to all of you. Seeing so many people trying their hand at the steel guitar was a real inspiration to me. Thank also to the many 'ukulele and guitars that backed us all up! If any of you have questions about the steel, please write to me.
Aloha,
-Konabob
