The Auntie Genoa Keawe show takes place on Thursday’s at the Waikiki Marriott Hotel. It is customary for guest artists to casually drop by to play and sing impromptu. Many of these are local entertainers who perform without rehearsal. It is meant to be very informal. And therein lies the excitement because you never know what is going to happen or who is going to perform next. There has been some great experiences come out of this for me. I always make sure I get to Auntie’s show on Thursdays, beginning at 5:00 p.m.
Here are a few pictures of HSGA steelers on Auntie's show.

Don, that's the Greatest Show On Earth, IMHO. Hawaiian music doesn't get any better than that!  |

Just heard the sad news from Momi Kahawaiolaa (pink dress) that someone had stole her guitar you see here in the photo. Thieves must have seen her put it into her car trunk. When she returned, the trunk was broken into. 
This could very well happen with our steels, so, if you're storing instruments in your car, make sure no one sees you. |
