Uncle Pat emailed me that link today! Great slideshow presentation. Just listening to Uncle Bill's narration is awesome...what a life attitude! His philosophy is golden.

Shameless plug but the Smoking Menehunes opened that gig. It was at the vintage Warner Grand theater in San Pedro. Before the show bong and I went "exploring" among the hidden passageways in the theater. It's an old art deco style place, very opulent. 1000 people could fit in there. There are excellent wall hangings.
I helped carry the equiptment in for Krysten Korb, the bassist who played with Bill that night. Besides being an awesome upright bass player, she can sing with a beautiful voice. Good looking, talented and with no typical pro musician attitude. She did not know me from adam yet talked to me like we were peers.
If I am not mistaken, they had the vibe player from Waitiki there that night, playing with Bill. King Kukulele was the MC, and as I said, the Smoking Menehunes warmed the crowd up. It was a great night!!
