Aloha e Lanaki,
Do you use Skype by any chance? If so, I've decided to host biweekly kanikapila on it, although I decided to put yesterday's one off until next week. So it'll be on Friday, april 23, and every other Friday after that unless I can't do it on that day. Each one starts at 2:00 PM Hawaiian time. I've done three so far and unfortunately haven't had that many people so far, but I'll definitely keep doing them and hope they will grow soon enough.
Malama,
'Alika |

You never know who is standing in the shadows, yearning for a kanikapila, until someone starts one. Then all the yearning musicians come streaming in, like the trade wind from the sea. Guitars, ukulele's, voices poised for the music to begin! Be the daring soul who forces the issue by declaring a place and time. All your siblings are waiting!

Konabob and some other folks get together Kona side for a regular kanikapila. He might also know of some musical happenings Hilo side. Might also check with Leilehua Yuen (Hula Rider here on Taro Patch). I think she has something regular going on in Hilo musically and culturally. I see thiings posted periodically for the East Hawai`i Cultural Center. And if all else fails, you can start your own kanikapila. If you build it, they will come. |

Mahalo Lanaki. It's an Acoustic Balladeer. I actually bought it new in the summer of '77 in Santa Cruz. I think I mic-ed it up with 2 KM 184s thru my ProTools rig. Never liked the direct sound for recording, but works great live.
Correct about the C tuning. I keep one of my guitars tuned to Bb and capo for C

nahenahe, dog! VERY nice composition. what ovation model is this? thing sounds excellent in this recording.
i was perusing some of the other recordings on the soundclick site yesterday. this is a great avenue for sharing.
are there any other big islanders here? i'd love to get together for some kanikapila... OFTEN!
i've been learning the open C tuning in cyril pahinui's current class here at the community college. next tuesday is the final day. pot luck luau and kanikapila time for sure. small class with an average of 8 folks showing up. cyril's been playing a newly acquired laminated koa ibanez plugged in to a delay pedal and amped through a fender compact model. sounds excellent. his tacoma EKK119C developed some electronic troubles which i think he is trying to get repaired. it's great to sit with a master, watch, listen and learn. open C is another wonderful tuning but it is tough on string life unless you have a guitar strictly for that tuning. C-G-E-G-C-E. so far the elixir nano pb mediums i use can only handle about three sessions of open C and re-tuning to standard before the D and B strings break.
found out cyril and i both attended and graduated from kailua high on o'ahu. he grad in '68 and i was 6 years later in '74. man, what i would give to have had opportunity to hang out in gabby's waimanalo back yard in those days! |

All the music is wonderful. I couple years back the TaroPatchers did a compilation of music that was posted on Soundclick. (Mahalo to hapakid for all the hard work).
Here's one I wrote and recorded on my Ovation, actually my first in Open G. http://soundclick.com/share?songid=1642926 Seriously though, check out the other players. Great stuff!!!

Welcome to Taro Patch (again). Please do not be a stranger and join in the talk story.
And don't forget, if you ever get over onto O`ahu, plenty guys there you can find to kanikapila with.
Your music sounds very nice. Thanks for letting us listen to it! |

here's my first ki ho'alu composition:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6jZ8O7oAU8
'ilio nui: '78 was the first year for the adamas guitar. i ended up selling this one to a man in japan a few months ago. i really wish i had kept it now.
the tourism economy has been dreadful here and i have not had a gig for almost a year now. i've been employed with tihati productions and island breeze productions doing solo, duet and trio music usually for conventions at the kona side resorts. my band has been whoever was available for the gig at the moment! often i'd play music with musicians i had never met before.
for economic reasons that are due to the lack of paying gigs, i have sold several instruments in as many months. i've kept my adamas 1688 12 stringer as it is a wonderful gift from my wife. then i recently discovered stanford guitars which are designed by a builder in the czech republic but made in china. unbelievable build quality and sound! it romps all over the collings cj i sold and sounds better than any high end martin i've ever owned or played. under $1K if you can find one. here's michael wong playing his stanford:

Wow. I did a google search. Didn't even know they made Adamas in '78. Bought my first Ovation in the summer of '76. The bridge collapsed after 20 years, but I had it fixed a couple years ago. Don't play it much because the neck is a little narrow for me to slack. Wrote a zillion songs in Drop D in my folk-jazz/bluegrass days. Guess I better open the case and remember old times. Actually I'm about to finish an album of old tunes. Think I'll try the Ovation in the studio. Love your website. Who do you play with on the BI?

mahalo, guys! i used a 1978 adamas 1687-9 for this song. it has a mellow tone to it. plugged in to a zoom a2.1u pedal and straight into the computer via usb. one guitar, one track. taro patch tuning.
and please don't quit, john. i'm just learning this stuff over the past two years but i've been playing for 40. |
