We played the 'off' night and did their show and also played in the Molokai bar. We also did the month of September when the other show was on vacation. We did that for ten years. By the way, we're in the group photo right above, third row-left center with kukui nut leis. I had the pleasure of knowing Mariano, a genuinely kind man. Very cool info nibblegribitz!! Is this your Dad? I would love to know more about him. Cheers and Mahalo, Jeff [ Edited by: Jeff Central 2008-08-23 17:07 ]
