Well, since you asked...there won't be much related to steel guitar in this entry.
It was a wonderful family vacation to one of my favorite places on earth, visiting with my in-laws who live in Honolulu. Had much fun swimming, etc., but heard no music.
While I was on Kauai I thought I'd check out Ken Emerson...no dice. While I was on Oahu my scheduled didn't coincide with any happenings, unfortunately, and I didn't really seek it out. The music I did hear was in bars and restaurants, and was basically 1970s easy listening stuff. I tuned it out.
However, I did hear these 3 guys playing in front of the Pacific Beach Hotel (buskers). At least 1 was Tahitian. One of the guitarists was about 450 pounds and was phenomenal. I hung with them for a while and enjoyed what I heard.
I didn't touch a guitar for almost 2 weeks and when I arrived home I got a call to do a gig that night at Waikiki Wally's in NY, and it was the first time I'd used my Fry Pan. What a treat.
I purchased this gigbag in a uke shop, specifically for my Fry Pan. Fits perfectly lengthwise.
BTW, tomorrow (Sunday, 6/6, 4PM) free concert: 3 Farms Benefit at East River Amphitheater, featuring the Moonlighters, Laura Cantrell, and David Johannson. |

Shhhh! Don't let Brad hear you. He might move this to feedback & testing!
Well, you didn't miss much in NY/NJ.
Sounds like a great line up for Sunday. If I were in town I would certainly be there.
I look forward to seeing the Moonlighters again. It will have to be a during the week gig though. Please keep us posted. |

| Like I said, it was a family reunion-type trip, so it wasn't really a priority for me on Oahu to hear any music. I already had plenty on my plate. |
