Aloha and thanks for stopping by...
Tonight marks the return of Cecilio & Kapono to Waikiki! Waikiki is where most discovered C&K, at a place called the Rainbow Villa, all those years ago. I had just started in radio then, and remember being asked by my friend Carl Smith who at the time was running the Columbia Records, Honolulu office to listening to something in his office. He was excited and came by the studio's (we shared the same floor at 765 Amana Street, 5th floor back then) and said I had to hear his new test pressing. It was a test pressing of the new C & K album! I can't remember who was on the air down the hall, but I know we were first to get it on the air. It was an exciting time in both the music business and radio. I had a brief conversation with Henry this morning about tonight's show and they are really excited about this return to Waikiki. They'll be two shows every Thursday night through December with a break for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I hope you get a chance to stop by and enjoy the magic of Cecilio & Kapono. There's a great shot of C&K, Kamasami Kong and me at Castle High posted on our web site, check it out at 1079koolgold.com
Frank Delima has done it again! He's got a new song out call "Furlough". Funny bit. You can download it at frankdelima.com While you're there make a donation to Frank's effort to help our youngsters.
You can hear highlights from both my conversations with Frank and Henry on my Facebook page. You access it, you'll need to be a member of Facebook and tag me as a "friend". Let me know if you need help on the technical end of all this...I've great friends who can walk you through the process.
