Stolen guitar irreplaceable
Musician Tiffa Cruz Garza says it was a legacy from her father
By Rosemarie Bernardo
rbernardo@...

An acoustic electric guitar with sentimental value to local musician
Tiffa Cruz Garza was stolen from her pickup truck parked at her Aiea
Heights home.

"It would mean the whole world to me to get it back," Garza, 23,
said yesterday. "I'm just desperate for it."

At about 1:30 a.m. Saturday, Garza arrived at her home in the 99-
1000 block of Kahua Place. She and her band, the Girlas, had
performed at the Centennial Welcome-Back Bash at the University of
Hawaii at Manoa's Campus Center courtyard.

She and her husband, Imua Garza of the band Opihi Pickers, were
packing to catch an early flight to Hilo. Garza left her guitar in
its case in the cab of her 1999 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck.

When she headed back to her truck at about 3:30 a.m., Garza noticed
the vehicle's rear window pried open and her guitar missing. "I was
just crying hysterically," she said.

Garza had gotten the guitar as a gift from her father, well-known
musician Ernie Cruz Sr., when she graduated from Hilo High School in
2001.

"It's my father's guitar. It has his fingerprints," Garza said,
adding that it is worn on the fret board and on the back of the
guitar from years her father played the instrument. "It represents
his heart and love for me and for music."

Garza's father had taught her how to play on the instrument in 1993,
when she was a teenager. "It's a way of life for me. I use it in all
of my gigs. It's been part of my life," she said.

She described it as a Takamine-brand acoustic electric guitar made
of koa wood. The guitar is a 1992 special edition with golden-brown
tuning pegs. It has a "unique sweet sound that has been cultivated
by many years played," Garza said. "Nothing can compare to it."

Police were called about the theft.

Garza said she would not press charges and just wants her guitar
returned. A substantial reward, as well as a collection of CDs from
Garza and her family members, is being offered for the guitar.

Along with a talented father, brother Ernie Cruz Jr. is part of the
Ka'au Crater Boys. Garza's other brothers, Guy and John, have
successful solo music careers.

She said other break-ins have occurred in her neighborhood, and her
neighbor had stolen from a PT Cruiser over the weekend a medal
earned in the military, cleaning supplies and books.

Anyone with information about the whereabouts of the guitar can call
Tiffa Cruz Garza at 258-7242.

Are those your eyes?
Is that your smile?
I've been looking at you forever,
but I never saw you before.
Are these your hands, holding mine?
Now I wonder how I could have been so blind.

Chorus:
For the first time, I am looking in your eyes.
For the first time, I'm seeing who you are.
I can't believe how much I see when you're looking back at me.
Now I understand what love is, love is, for the first time.

Can this be real?
Can this be true?
Am I the person I was this morning,
and are you the same you?
It's all so strange.
How can it be?
All along this love was right in front of me.

Chorus twice

BTW the person singing it with him is Lehua Kalima Heine from the
group Na Leo Pilimehana. I think you will like them if you haven't
heard of them before because they sing adult contemporary music and
a couple Hawaiian songs here and there.

A hui hou!

Stolen guitars, returned!
Date: Fri, Aug 18 2006 12:28 am Great email came from Mike Ka`awa
today:
Good News! Both guitars have been returned. Noland's guitar was
found on Saturday and last night "Ruby" came home.

The emails and telephone calls from everyone out there who expressed
their aloha was incredible. From Hawi, Hilo, Wailuku, to Waianae and
Lihue, and even Florida, people had their ears and eyes open.

The media was very supportive in getting the news out as well.
Mahalo Sharlene Oshiro and Carol Yotsuda. Caroline Slyter did an
excellent job with her news story Monday night on KITV, and Billy V.
mentioning it every morning, calling me for updates, along with the
other radio personalities who kept announcing it, the newspapers
(MidWeek, Star Bulletin, Advertiser) and writers, other TV stations,
our friends and family members who took time out to go to pawn shops
and to call their friends, Analu Aina, who went door to door -
awesome braddah.

I am very thankful and grateful to all of you out there for your
continued support and positive thoughts.

Noland also sends his aloha to everyone.

Aloha, Mike Kaawa

Keali`i At Wolf Trap and in The Big Apple
Monday, August 21st 2006, 21:14
East Coast folk are in for a treat as Keali`i Reichel takes to the
road in September. He joins Led Ka`apana and Hâlau o Kekuhi at Wolf
Trap on September 9. New Yorkers can enjoy "An Evening with Keali`i
Reichel" at the Town Hall in NYC on September 10 has been confirmed.
Join Keali`i, the band, and dancers for an intimate night on the
island of Manhattan. Tickets on sale now!

Keali'i Reichel Ledward Ka`apana Wolf Trap,VA
September 9 - Vienna, Virginia
Here's a big east coast concert at the Filene Center, Wolf Trap,
just outside of Washington, DC. Keali`i will perform along with
Ledward Ka`apana and Halau `O Kekuhi.
From our Concert Calendar
http://my.calendars.net/dcfanaddicts >HAWAIIAN CONCERT CALENDAR<
Hawaiian music What on the surface may appear to be a case
of "overnight success" is anything but that. Keali'i's years of work
and dedication to the perpetuation of Hawaiian language, culture,
hula, and chanting led him down the road to stardom. He's a popular
and bestselling singer, songwriter, choreographer, dancer, chanter,
scholar, teacher, and personality from the State of Hawaii.
Through his busy schedule he retains the initial goal of presenting
new compositions in the Hawaiian language for hula students, and
works to dispel long-held stereotypes of his birthplace.

HEllo there!
I would like to know if anyone has the lyrics to For the First Time
from his Ke'Alaokamaile album. Who is singing w/him as well?
Help?  would love to consider this song for our first dance for our
wedding but would love to know all the words to it as well.
Unfortunately, I have a hearing impairment so I am not able to pick up
all the words...Your help would greatly be appreciated!
Thanks!

I just approaved three messages and they've just vanished.  Two were
about missing gitars and the other I can't remember.  I don't know what
happened.  I clicked on change all to approave and when I checked the
board they weren't there.  If you don't mind, please resubmit.

Last night two (2) 12-string guitars were stolen out of my locked
van at Koolau Golf Course.

Both Adamas guitars in Ovation hard cases, models #1598 and #1598-
MEI.  The signature model is Brother Noland's guitar.  The other one
is my own that I use regularly.

Three males, local, were seen leaving the area in a 4 door, white
sedan, license plate number JVR 655.  The cops said the plates don't
match the car, probably stolen.

After playing, I locked the guitars in my van, went back in to grab
a few more items.  I was only gone maybe 15-20 minutes, when I
returned, my car had been broken into.  Driver's door lock was
busted, the back tailgate lock and lever also busted, and finally
they shattered the front passenger door window and then punched a
hole to enter my locked van.

If you hear or see anything, please call me.  oh, but don't call my
