Thanks for the update, Sandy & Doug. I found the same list somewhere else, and you were also missing from that one, so someone else has the information wrong (perhaps that's where Auntie Maria got the list). I made sure to correct it for the Seattle-area Hawai`i Radio Connection folks (who probably don't have your CD, though).
Another category for musicians from the Islands this year is the new American Roots Song one, which also features a number of familiar names. |

Disgraceful! You repeatedly have left us off your supposed official lists...
You cannot be trusted. Biasing and interfering with this process.
Very Sad. All entries, including us, are hard working musicians and deserving of a fair review and voting process regardless of your personal preferences.
And you are part of HARA... so disappointing.
Shame is on you. |
