Hello.
I only found this site last weekend, made a coupla posts and still reading through it, found the introductions. In any case,

I am a pale-blue irish boy from the northeast, (approximately four miles east of the Kowloon, actually!) a student of the ukulele and hapa-haole songs, got married in Hawaii, (leap-year day, 2000!), got to see Rudy Aquino and the Lanui Band nightly at Ka'anapali and fell in love with all things Polynesian! (Heck, I even enjoyed that artificial mucus they have out there... Poi.)

I originally joined to see if someone could help me with a song I found, ("Down Honolulu Way," Earl Burnett, 1916. See "Chords for Uke Tunes" in Tiki music,) but have been reading up on all this neat stuff! What a great site! Seems too be a number of you from this area, too. I am sorry I didn't join sooner to get to that big Kowloon meet'n'greet, but I plan to visit a local Polynesian themed watering hole this weekend with a camera to share an experience at "Fantasy Island" for your "Locating Tiki" forum.

This is SOOOO my bag, baby!
