Man, you had an 8 year break from this forum! Sadly, some of the people you mentioned don't post often or at all any more..and if you have not at least been lurking to see what's been going on....many of the original TC people are gone..as are the bands they liked and whatnot....it's kind of like you are rip van winkle!

But better looking! I hope.

Yep, I knew that, but it's OK. New people to meet. For those who don't know me:

First trip to Hawaii was as a kid in 1968, saw Apollo 8 astronauts land at Hickam Field and loads of other truly amazing experiences. Had family there at the time (wish I still did!). This started lifetime obsession with the beauty of Hawaii and its people. I have a modest number of Coco Joes and used to have a big mug collection that sadly had to be sold off for financial reasons (sniff!). Am most comfortable in aloha shirts, not always practical in this climate. Am married to an American girl, hope to move to islands some day. Am crazy about Hawaiian music and am learning uke and steel guitar. Tiki bars rule. Mid-century Tiki interiors are the way modern urban humans were meant to live. Surf and exotica are awesome music though for me it's Hawaiian first.

Not much else to say just now. Anyone who needs a good copywriter/proofer/editor, get in touch. :)
