I heard it was a great time, thanx to Ron Kanahele, this year's guest, and Bobby Ingano who was able to back Ron and make his brand of music work.

Was anybody there under the age of 50?

I don't think so, Ron but we would sure like to change that.

Sounds like it went well.. Sorry I couldn't get there, too many expensive restorations and projects this year.

Videos of Uncle Ron at the Randolph Grille in Winchester can be viewed at http://www.dksmusic.com. Videos are quite large and may take some time to load.

Good fun!
The beauty of having an older crowd at these events, especially so far from the islands is, those that like Hawaiian music get a big kick out of seeing someone who really knows how to do it. The smiles were priceless!
