Been talking with homeboy Sweet Daddy Tiki and am feeling the need to share in the TC aloha again. I miss you guys! Gecko and all others who left messages after I left, mahalo, you guys rock. Oliver is now 8 and in grade 2, I have worked some big corporate writing jobs that pretty much sucked as far as having a life goes, so now looking for the next thing. Am taking up steel guitar at last (much more on this when there's time). Life goes on, eh? Me ke aloha pumehana, em.

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. :)

Amen! Took me long enough to make the commitment, but I am now the proud owner of a travel-size Weissenborn (made by a luthier right near me but bought from a dude in Minnesota) and am waiting delivery on a Rickenbacker BD6. And my koa/tortoise/rope Big Island soprano uke is a thing of astounding beauty. :) Oh, and because I am a greedy little pig - I'm buying one of the new National hollow neck tricones. Most I've ever spent on anything in my life that didn't have four wheels. It's never too late to have a happy childhood! [ Edited by: emspace 2011-05-31 12:33 ]

Best of luck with the blog, and in helping spread the gospel! I can dig the commitment aspect, took me 20 years to settle down enuf to give Jerry Byrd my full studious attention as The Man so deserved. I think you'll love your new Ricky, 'shoes' are tops, and I'm jealous over the Nat.! What's the maker's info on your Weisse', sounds sweet, might as well give him some shout. Keep pounding away here on TC, the heathen must see the light, we'll save their steel deficient souls! Here's my meager contribution to the intraweb steel gods - http://www.hwnsge.5u.com to which I am struggling to include your intro info and website addy, it currently sends me elsewhere. Check it out and maybe spot the problem, please!

8T 8FT Tiki Tiki Socialite Kansas City, MO Joined: Nov 30, 2003 Posts: 1411	8T 8FT Tiki Posted posted on Tue, May 31, 2011 2:49 PM Been wondering what happened to you. I always remembered the one thing I learned from you. What is an emspace? : An emspace is the space occupied by the widest character in any typeface, usually the letter "m". Also in keyboarding, the width of one spacebar stroke. Why? Good question. em After all these years you just wash up on the shores of TC again. I'm amazed you remembered your password. Nice to have you back. I guess we should never give up on all of the "others" that have checked out over the years. 8FT

I'm amazed I remembered the password too - and in fact was going to ask SDT to contact Hanford and ask him to help out, because my email address has changed too and I can't use the password retrieval form. But behold, even years of dedicated alcohol abuse hasn't fogged the old neurons. :) Thanks 8FT!
