I adore Keali'i's music and mission. I am just beginning to learn
the language. There is a longing in my heart and a tugging at my
spirit to embrace the culture as a whole. His music and mission
keep me going. :)

I have never been able to find much on his personal life...I think
b/c some things are well...personal. :) I can respect that. What I
want to know is if he will ever be coming to the eastern states?!?!

I have also made a friend or two new fans. I have pre-ordered his
collection on amazon.com (YEA!).

I was also wondering (as I am learning all about Hawaiian mele and
oli) any good references to good strong rythmic oli. Lots of drums,
and ipu?! Maybe we can hope he will put out an oli CD someday. He
is amazing!

Also, any good suggestions on distance learning for language? I
have accomplished some unoffical studying on my own, but I must make
it more intense. I need structure! :) HA!
