******* IMPORTANT NOTICE *******

Wow! I just talked with "Bill" (see above post).

This is Bill Tapia, he's in his mid-90's and played with Johnnie Noble on the Grand opening of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel in Waikiki.

He knows/knew all the old-timers in Hawaiian Music - Sol Hoopi'i, Gabby Pahinui, King Benny Nawahi etc.

This guy is a Hawaiian music legend.

If he joins our band (and lives) I'll be in heaven!
