He was just here in the Seattle area last weekend. He performed at the Folklife Festival (again), as well as a couple paying gigs. In addition, he and his band did a lengthy set on Sunday night at a benefit event for a member of our Hawaiian community, who had suffered a debilitating stroke a little over a year ago. Brother Noland is one class act.
(Tonight is my last Audio Production class, so I can get home in time to see these once again, starting next week.)
Uncle Dougie is wheelchair bound & not speaking - but able to smile and make chords on his `ukulele (while others do the strumming). He was a big bear-hugging sweetheart of a guy, and those closest to him say you can tell the stroke has diminished him greatly - but not absolutely. He was a marvelous massage therapist, giving special attention to the hands & arms of Hawaiian musicians who would pass through the area (such as Brittni Paiva & Bill Tapia).
