No details available yet but Nedward "Nicky Boy" Kaapana, twin brother to Ledward Kaapana, passed away on Friday, April 4.
Ned was bassist for Hui Ohana and a composer, slack key guitarist, and solo artist. His "Kolomona Slack Key" has become a standard of the repertoire.

Additional sadness in the Seattle-area Hawaiian `ohana, as another member of the family passed this morning, beloved kumu hula Moodette Keli`iho`omalu Ka`apana. Aunty Moody was a kumu in this area for decades & was one of the founding sisters of the region's hula community, as well as one of the regular hosts on our "Hawai`i Radio Connection" for almost 15 years. (She was a Ka`apana by marriage.) |

Thanks for posting this Fran.
I do not do the FB thing so it is good that someone passes the news on to this patch.
I did not know Nedward but surely do love his Kolomona Slack Key which you mentioned and I heard first on the Hui 'Ohana 87 disc.
