Aloha Friday...

First, a huge Mahalo to Laura Prados for stopping by this week with a gift of a pair of drum sticks and a few spares too! I broke my last stick going into our "More Cowbell" weekend and haven't had a chance to pick up a new pair. Thanks Laura!

End of another era...Did you hear that Encyclopedia of Britanica is no longer going to be published. I have to really thank them for giving me a lift in 

life! If it wasn't for two of them I wouldn't have been able to reach the table at dinner time!

...Bummed that the Stones are going to wait to next year to celebrate their 50th anniversary. However they may play a few select cities, let's hope Honolulu is on that list.

Great News this morning: Elton John is ready to release a new album come the fall called the "The Diving Board". T-Bone Burnett served as John's producer on the project. It's a return to John's early recordings featuring piano, bass and drums. T-Bone just finished up a project for Lisa Marie Presley which will be out May 15th.

The powers-that-be at Magnoia pictures have picked an unforgettable release date for the forthcoming Bob Marley documentary, Marley. The date 4/20!

I hope you get a chance to catch the Jimmy Buffett show this Sunday at the Waikiki Shell! Congratulations to Verle Heyer of Makakilo who won the Ultimate Parrot Head Experience! Here's Verle picking up his prize this morning with his family along with Bart Da Silva and me.
