Aloha,
Sorry, Fil,I have had the beastly computer problems, I just cleaned them up today. I just wanted to say, what a great show. DelMar Dewilde was indeed WILD. Hai Jung was hypnotizing with her seductive vocals and beautiful presence. Perry Comma, Lopaka Colon, the alluring dancers "and the rest" really put on an excellent show. The highlight, of course, was the set they played with Martin and Augie. They played "Quiet Village" and "Firecracker". At 93 Martin can still pound out a rousing version of "Firecracker". Augie was very funny, when there were problems with the instruments, he quipped, "Japanese Equipment". It was quite touching and exiting to see our heroes get a standing ovation in the fantastic venue of the Honolulu Theatre.

The night before the show I was lucky enough to meet Producer Lloyd Kandell. We talked about Don Tiki playing Shelter Island. They had had some trouble with a show that was scheduled there this summer. I think it would be the perfect band in the perfect venue. If they do play Humphrie's it will definitely be of interest for our TC Ohana. I will keep you posted.

I want to shout out to my pal Jeff Central, it was great hanging in Honolulu with you, thanks for the disks. It was nice to see Alee (sp?), we had great fun with you at La Mariana. Fil it was great touring your fabulous collection of PolyPop and Polynesian History, I'm glad you invited us down to Dukes to see Kapono, great time. I owe you a drink bro. Most of all I want to thank Gecko. He was our Chauffer, Concierge, Social Secretary, Confessor, Tour Guide and all around Man about Town. Thanks Bro, we had a great time, I Owe you.
Mahalo,
Al
