We hope you are doing well, Uncle. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5PAufDFqyo – And here he is with guitar and “Grandfather’s Clock”. And he even says he stole it from Fran Guidry. Now Fran, you know you are something special when folks start to steal from you.

Amazingly sweet and seamlessly-edited video of "So in Love" from Keonepax! And wonderful videos of Palolo playing at the uke festival--those guys are spot-on with their guitar and uke licks and great singing!
