paniolo o ke kahawai's blog: "MUSIC TIME"

WELL ALL, IT'S BEEN 5 YEARS SINCE I'VE PLAYED MUSIC IF FRONT OF A CROWED OF PEOPLE HAT I DID'NT KNOW. ABOUTA YEAR AGO I WAS INVITED TO PLAY AT THE BLUE MOON TAVERN BY THE U OF W (GO HUSKIE BTW) AND I JUST GOT NEWS THIS PAST WEEK THAT THEY WOULD LOVE FOR ME TO COME UP THIS COMING WENSDAY AND PLAY A 15 MINUITE SET DURING THEIR OPEN MIC NIGHT. I AM REALLY PUMPED UP ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I'LL BE PLAYING KIHOU'ALU (HAWAI'IAN SLACK KEY). I HAVE 3 MELODIES OF SONGS THAT I HAVE WORKED ON FOR YEARS AND A 4TH THAT'LL BE MY ADDITION IF REQUESTED. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I HAVE WANTED TO DO FOR MANY YEARS SINCE THE PASSING OF MY DAD IN MARCH OF '99. IF IT WAS'NT FOR HIM, I WOULD HAVE NEVER LEARNED MUSIC AND THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF FAMILY ANF FRIENDS THAT I WORKED ON IT. I MAY NOT BE OF SLACK KEY MASTER QUALITY BUT I LOVE THE MUSIC THAT HAS BEEN PASSED DOWN TO ME FROM ALL THOSE WHO PLAYED IT BEFORE ME. THANKS FOR READING MY BLOG, I HOPE YOU'LL POST SOME COMMENTS.
