Shucks.
Mahalo for the kind words.

I am actually in the process of finishing up several originals on uke to be recorded when I can play them live; one dedicated to and named after the Kahiki Moon... reminiscent of the old Rodgers and Hart song "To Keep My Love Alive," not so much in musical content but lyrically.

Another about 2 Hawai'ian brothers who have been naughty little poachers of Koa for their father's instrument business - they stumble across an abandoned okolehao still - discover a skeleton with a half full bottle of the nectar - and they never leave.

I just wish I could get the syntax down of the Hawai'ian language words. I can't even put three together without... hey wait a minute - maybe I've been saying "bring the hurricanes to me" all this time and didn't even know it.

I'd best shut up until I get it right.

BTW - for everyone who is going to Hukilau - bring some money for the King Kukulele & Friki Tikis' CD - it's the coolest and most fun thing going in music.
