Good call on the steeler. The rest are indeed family - her niece Momi Bee Kahawaiola'a on guitar/vocals, and Genoa's #1 son Gary Aiko, my friend and favorite male vocal/bass/uke player. Mandy can be seen in the last 2 pix doing what she's been groomed to do, take over the reins to the Keawe legacy, and she sounds like her Grandma in younger day's.
The hotel is the Waikiki Beach Marriott, the stage is on the 3rd floor, and showtime is 6pm every Thursday evening.

bongofury, you caught her at the right time, and she always had a blast, even when it got difficult the last year. She loved what she did, and she was the best.
Joe Keawe is a relative from marrige, not direct family.
Thanx for the post.

I'd like to hear the GK show mentioned above. Where is it? The Ron Jacobs/whodaguy clip wuz cool. I hadn't heard that. He's got ton's of great stories.
