I am preparing to leave next Wednesday for Hawaii and the Na Hoku Hanohano Awards on June 3rd.
I welcome any comments, or Sending of Good Luck you might care to send to Danny Couch prior to these Awards.

Pretty expensive trip. No wins for your hero, but.

Here's the list of winners from the Star-Bulletin. Congrats to all!

Some interesting comments in the article. Like Eddie Kamae's win "for an otherwise mediocre album of material seemingly culled at random from the Sons of Hawaii archives." And that Heineken got some free advertising!

Pali had three nominations... pity he didn't go home with any trophies.

That was kinda an...ermm...interesting... comment.

Pali will catch something next go round. I have full faith in their skills.

Once again Jack Johnson gets screwed by local music. "Hoku" means star and Jack Johnson is the only one shining from Hawaii.

Looks to me like Raiatea Helm will again be the big winner this year. I confess, I don't know her music at all.

Raiatea deserved the Na Hoku Hanohano awards for Female Vocalist of the Year and Favorite Entertainer of the Year. What a beautiful voice and wide range she has!

No he ain't. Pepper got screwed when SugAHdaddy took home the Hoku for best Rock album.
