Posted - 01/03/2011 : 08:00:26 AM Happy New Year to you all. Auntie is a bit late today. I am a victim on another yucky head cold that makes me more dizzy-headed than usual.
But no mattah, start off your year right by enjoying some fine music this afternoon.
In case you missed the post under “performance announcements”, Here is Uncle Robert Reed, his wife Kelly and Kapili Little John – the group Ho`olono at the 2010 Ka Himeni Ana http://vimeo.com/18185090
Posted - 01/10/2011 : 08:35:47 AM We get about 50 people to gather each month, and we've been going for seven years now. I taught the group "Ulupalakua" for a performance at the Northwest Folklife Festival a few years ago.
The more I play the bass, the more I like it - but also the more I understand its limitations. It's the right instrument for a group like this (or the shows I do with noeau), but there are other gigs where I prefer the full bass guitar.

Seattle `Ukulele Players Association doing "Ulupalakua" 1/9/11 (at one end of the room you'll see noeau, at the other end, baritone can briefly be seen; I'm playing the fretless Kala U-Bass)
