Well, It's been a little more than five years now that I first started playing Slack Key and I love it more than ever.
This morning I picked up my guitar (happens everyday) and stared playing some tunes in F Wahine. I am supposed to be to work at 8:00am but it's already 8:30. Everything I played went right to my heart and I could not stop. It was like being on the phone with someone you love...I was hard to say goodbye and end the conversation.

I have the same problem. Only been playing for two years, but very recently upgraded my guitar from an Ibanez concert series to a Taylor 814CE. Been late for work almost every day last week, and even "worked from home" once.

The same songs I have been playing for the last several months sound so much better, different somehow. Yes, I know what you mean. It's like I have been a haole all my life and didn't know until a couple of years ago that I'm really a native of Hawaii. Sort of like coming home.

I sometimes feel a little sorry for all the people who are listening to other music and don't understand how much brighter the day would be with slack key.

Ki ho'alu and a readily available kika are sooooo mysterious at times. Sometimes I grab my kika off of the stand and it's like those so called "alien abductions" where you can't account for missing time. Seems like I just start playing and in an instant 2 hours have elapsed Seriously though, we're so lucky to be able to have ki ho'alu transport us to that "Happy Place"

Hoof Hearted?...Was it you Stu Pedaso?

That's because time stands still when you play, so why would you need a clock in that room?
