Since she hasn't posted to HT for about a year-and-a-half, it looks like Auntie Maria isn't going to pop in here to tell this news, and I think enough time has passed since I first learned it - so I'm going to spread the word. As she stated it herself elsewhere:
Fred Krauss, if you don't know the name, is one of the partners in Punahele Productions (Keali`i Reichel's company).
Okay -- it's official. I'm retiring, and have sold MELE.COM, effective April 15. Uiha!!!!
My dear friend Fred Krauss of Maui will do an outstanding job with the website. He has the knowledge and expertise to grow it even bigger and better. The site will close down April 15 while we make the transition (and pack and move allllll this inventory!), with a reopen date scheduled for May 1st.
I'm definitely not leaving the island music industry though -- still got my radio shows, and will keep supporting island musicians and wonderful music they bring us.
Just wanted all you wonderful (site-specific info deleted)ers to hear this news from me, straight up!
