Thanks for the feedback.

The release party at the Mai Kai was awesome but basically a solo performance by me since Kanaka was sick and Koka is nursing a bruised hand, etc. etc. I had fun though and really, that's all that matters. First Mystery Girl Dance. Yep. Yep. Very enchanting.

The album is all over the digital downloads now - pretty much every outlet I can think of.
I suggest spending 99 cents and listening to Mystery Girl.

Of course, you can't leave out Bamboo Ben. Just for Jeff Berlin's bass work alone.

While you're there you might as well grab Smuggler's Cove and Find Forbidden Island and go SF to Alameda.

The Aloha Song is pure Hapa Haole with the resonator.

Heck at that point, just grab the whole thing. 10 bucks or less for 12 songs.

Merchandising OFF.

At our website, crazedmugs.com, there are some pretty long samples of the tunes if you want to catch a whiff of what we've cooked up.

As it stands now, musically, I've pretty much committed myself to continuing to play a lot more and work a lot less. No more 6 year waits. We've got almost enough material to do another one now plus I've really been working on some old Hawai'ian songs that we can do kanikapila style.

One thing - kanekila and Mr. Ho and Doc Tiki really made this project work. They're great musicians and it was a pleasure to work with them and all of the other folks who made this such a fun and satisfying project.

Hope the music makes the summer last for you.
