My trio, "Aloha In Motion", had the great pleasure last week of visiting Okinawa, Japan. We performed at the 13th Annual Halau Hula Kalakaua Ho'ike, hosted by Kumu Hula Ekko Ota. The hall of 1000 seats was sold out, and their production was first class. We were very honored to be part of this event. Ekko also hosts a weekly hour radio show which showcases Hawaiian music. She invited us into the station to perform live.
I have a short (9 minute) clip of the interview/pweformance, here:

On this trip, I suddenly remembered that in 2002, I had been walking across a parking lot on Alii Drive, when I saw Uncle George Naope sitting in a chair. I walked over to say hello, and he asked me; "What is in that case?". I told him that I played steel guitar. He responded; "Get a passport. I am going to take you to Japan." Years have gone by, and of course we lost Uncle George. But he was good to his word. If it were not for him, and his students, I would not have had the honor of playing at a Ho'ike in Okinawa.

Thanks for your feedback, guys!
Aloha,
-Konabob
