Pick a song for the radio

Re: Pick a song for the radio

Leo Lakio,

It's 3 a.m. on Saturday morning and I'm listening to your station via Internet stream. Your commercial for the Masters of Slack Key Guitar concert on March 31 just came on! Hooo! George Kahumoku and Cyril Pahinui in Seattle, plus halau! Sounds like a great show!

Re: Pick a song for the radio

Aloha, Blaine.

It's about a half-hour before show time, and I'm actually nervous! I hope to get in as many requests as possible, but I don't know that I can get everybody's in - so I apologize in advance for those that didn't make the show today.

(Expect a "sons of Gabby" set for you, however.)

I'll be at that ki ho`alu show, likely as emcee. The dancers are from a halau led by another of our radio hosts, kumu hula Moodette Ka`apana (related by marriage to Ledward & Nedward and all them folks.)

Manono has just arrived, so it's time to go - enjoy, everyone!

Mahalo nui, braddah Gregg, for fullfilling my request for "From A Dancer". Actually brought tears to my eyes.

Don't be nervous...have fun

Re: Pick a song for the radio

Wow! Whatta great playlist, LL. If you could ever get permission from the artists to put together a compilation CD as a fundraiser for your station I'd buy several in a heartbeat. Is there a chance that you can easily (as in copy and paste) the list of songs and artists from those 2 hours here on HT?

I think you've made a celebrity out of Scrivener.

And a special mahalo for Pua Hone and the reference to my dad. Yesterday would've been his 88th birthday. I cried thru Pua Hone! I know I couldn't have listened to Aloha O`e but I thank you for touching on the back story to that song.

(psssst...don't tell anyone but Pop wrote many of the Looney Tunes 'toons. He didn't know the first thing about animating 'em...that I know of!!! Shhh...our secret, 'kay?! Oh, and I recently found out how he was hired.)

Re: Pick a song for the radio

Wish I woke up in time for the start of the show , although I've gotta say that the show's ending was the best ending that I've ever heard!

Re: Pick a song for the radio

Oh, man. I just woke up and missed the whole thing. I am truly bummed.

Leo, is there any way possible that the station would put up the show in podcast format so I can put it on my iPod and listen to it on my own clock?

Thanks so much for doing this, anyway. Awesome idea. And from the sound of the other comments, it came off very well.

Sorry I missed it.

Aloha,

Blaine

Sorry brah I woke up a skosh too late to catch the very beginning.

By the way, Blaine, I did hear Leo play a Pahinui brothers set per your request.

I missed the first part of it too, I was with my mom kinda keeping an eye on her while my bro and fam were at their kids gymnatic meet.

Aloha kakou ---

Wish I could fulfill the podcast request, but with copyrighted material, the station no can do. Manono & I usually record the show, but we actually didn't this time, because there was so much going on (phone calls, ticket giveaway, equipment "issues" (as the station is packing up and changing facilities this week!) Although the station does do a reference archive to mp3 files, so I should be able to capture that at some point in a few weeks...

I do have a playlist in Excel; if I can figure out how to get that here on HT, I'll post it.

Even though I'm not on every week, the show still is, so I hope you'll all catch it from time to time. I'm usually on the first Saturday of the month, but I will miss the April 1 show (taking an `ukulele class with David Kamakahi), and will do April 8 instead - fundraising time!

The other hosts are all great people (I'm the only one NOT from Hawai`i originally) --- Stephen "Braddah" Gomes (Kaua`i) created the show about 14 years ago, and was also one of the creators of our Northwest Hawai`i Times newspaper; his sister Suelyn "Kulina" and friends Cousin Clarice Martin (Maui) & Uncle Ed Tanaka (O`ahu) have been part of the show for almost as long; other hosts include the ones I've mentioned - Manono McMillan (Moloka`i) and kumu hula Moodette Ka`apana (Hawai`i), along with Rochelle delaCruz (Hawai`i), the other creator of the newspaper.

Re: Pick a song for the radio

Aloha Leo!

..and more importantly, mahalo for playing Pauoa Liko Ka Lehua! It was truly an honor for us to perform that song with Auntie Genoa (and for all the folks on the island of O`ahu, I highly encourage those Hawaiian music fans to check Auntie G @ the Waikiki Marriott, Thursday nights--she's awesome!)...

Please drop me a line if there's anything I can do to help with your show (and if you like-please feel free to use any of our music).

Aloha, Mahalo & All the best,

Pali
