Are there any Dutch people on the forum?

In the Dutch magazine Gitarist is an interview with Makana on slack key guitar (see http://gitarist.nl/releases/release.php?relNR=78b7d5f5265676ebac22d58c0e090176 for content)

I've always been crazy but that's kept me from going insane (W.J.)

Playing: Ukulele, Slack key guitar, Mandolin

Here's a rough translation for the little blurb there in "Gitarist.nl":

"Joe Satriani praises him and the manager of Kiss would like to make a rock star out of him. But Makana stays true to himself. "Money and fame could never displace the cultural norms and values with which I was raised."

Hey Dr. Cookie,

Didn't know you were Dutch. I still speak it but very little. My sister and I sometimes banter back and forth, and that's great fun...

How's cold Lakewood?

Hi Julie!

Yes, first I learned Dutch . . . and now Hawaiian . . . I guess I'm on some kind of a quest to learn all the truly universal languages . . .

Lakewood was in the 80's last week, then it dropped 20 degress and started raining . . . then I left for Hawai`i, so who cares about the weather back home anymore??! Well. except for me again next week. I know you didn't ask, but it's just wonderful in Honolulu at the moment :)

Someone turned off the faucet, and it's warm again. Headed for the 90's by Sunday. It always seems to rain for Seafare. Must be those hippie wiccans hexing it. If you're on Oahu, you should try to find the Certo's.

If you get anywhere near Patrick Landeza, you won't have to look for us very long, or very hard.

I guess most of you know that Makana is playing shows at the International Marketplace, but do you know the ticket prices?

Ready?

Are you sitting down?

$125.
No typo. $125, according to an item in today's newspaper.
Sorry, but for that amount I'd expect 10 tickets, not just one.

Are you sure?
Something is off here. It sounds kind of bogus, even for Waikiki.

It's in the TGIF section of today's paper, page 18. Not up on their website yet.

Yep - on Makana's own website:
"Dinner and show tickets range from $95 to $125 per person. Children 4-11 are $55 and children 3 and under are free. Call for KAMA’AINA pricing."

With prices that high, I think we can assume that the International Market gig is not for Kama'ainas. That would be a very expensive date. I think it may be targeted towards the more upscale tourist who wants to experience a luau. Of course the locals here already know where to go for good Hawaiian food and music -- Dukes house.
