For all you Bay Areans, there's a great show at the Freight and Salvage coffee house tonight (Aug. 27) in Berkeley. Check out the link (and remove spaces): http://www.freightandsalvage.co m/2003/august/info_27.html. If you do go, say aloha if you see me: I'll be the guy with the pineapple Fluke looking for autographs.

Just got back from this show, and WOW! The New Generation are amazing. David Kamakahi is a true virtuoso on the uke, I was utterly floored. And Tom is as nice a guy face to face as he is online. Moreso, actually. And he got his fluke signed! :)

Thanks, Jenn. The feeling's mutual. Hey everybody, if this show makes its way to your town, you've got to check it out. David Kamakahi and Herb Ohta Jr. really rip it up. The show is going to Redwood City tonight, then down to San Diego. Next year, they're taking it to Maine!

They're planning a spring tour with a Seattle stop. Whoo-hoo!

Pauline, you're in for a treat! I still can't shake the rapturous feeling I got when the two slack-key guitarists backed up the two ukulele players (Herb Ohta Jr. and David Kamakahi) as they covered Santana's "Europa." Pure magic.
