(I thought about titling this thread: "Wanna do my work for me?")
Okay, here's my idea --- reply with one favorite song (w/artist) from the Island repertoire - it can be a Hawaiian-language classic, a newer release, an English-language one from the "renaissance" era.
I'll take the suggestions, as many as I can locate (I'm in Seattle, remember), and I'll play them on my KBCS radio show on Saturday, March 4, mentioning who from HT chose which song.
You can listen to the program in Hawai`i (or anywhere else) live, March 4, between Noon - 2 pm Pacific Time (10 am - Noon in Hawai`i, on that date at least) at the station's website, http://kbcs.fm. In the Seattle area, of course, it's on-air at 91.3 FM
It's a community station, so you won't be bombarded with commercials. A few caveats:
> It should be something that has been released on CD, as I don't have access to much Hawaiian vinyl.
> Please don't pick something too obscure or hard-to-find; remember, I'm on the Mainland, and this isn't "stump the DJ." However, if you give me enough time, I might be able to get my hands on a copy.
> The format of the station prevents me from playing certain types of music, so no rock (though the soft pop sounds of C+K, Beamers, Kalapana, Country Comfort, etc. are OK), and no deep Jawaiian (stuff like some Sean Na`auao, Keahiwai, Kapena can work.)
> There are two hosts on the program, so I don't get to do the whole show, but I will incorporate my partner (Manono from Moloka`i) as much as possible into the announcements and comments.
I'll take suggestions up until Feb. 25. This is a very popular radio show in Seattle, so you might help turn the listeners on to something.
Whaddya think? HawaiiThreads takes over Hawai`i Radio Connection! Any questions? Let's hear your choices...
P.S.) I'm on the show this Saturday, too, if you want to hear me - I generally co-host the first Saturday of each month.
