I just wanted to say sorry to those of you who were expecting to
possibly hear more from me. I was busy with school work and also
seeing what was going on with the newly founded bruddahiz group which
is open to Bruddah Iz fans of all ages.

Just wanted to say that I'm excited for this year's Na Hoku Hanohano
Awards even though I can't see it on TV over here and wish all the
nominees the best of luck.

When did it close?

In the first week of the effort with Borders Books & Music to raise
money for the Red Cross, Keali'i Reichel's "Kawaipunahele" CD has
become the No. 1 Hawaiian music release again. It ranked No. 7 on the
World Catalog chart. ...

I just thought I'd ask if any of you guys went to the Kukahi 2006
concert on Feb. 10, 11 and 12, and if you did, how did you like it?

I want to apologize to those of you whose messages didn't get posted.
My life is still in tormoil and this is the first time I've been at the
site for quite some time.  Feel free to repost or blast me for being
so  slow about getting to them.

I'll do better in the future.

Always Aloha and Updated news from
Danny Couch Fanaddicts

I also got comments from Natalie Ai Kamauu and Mahlon from The
Breeze.

Natalie wrote:
I did get the other e-mails (I think) and although it took me a few
tries to hear Aloha E, it finally worked.  It's so good.  My
favorite is the "ba da
da dah" part.  Keali'i must be proud that you wrote that for him.

I've been slacking....Welcome to the new members we/re received in the
past few months.  I've got to do better.

Feel free to post and ask questons...some of our members are quite
knowledgable...they know who they are.

Have fun and thanks for joining.

Alex sent me a tape of her song Aloha E and although it's a rough copy
I managed to format it and put it up on my website for her tribute to
Keali'i Reichel. There's also a cute photo of our Alex with it.

I don't need an answer from them anymore because I went to the
Unicell store yesterday, and the salesman said that my cell phone
type, Nokia, doesn't allow you to rip parts of songs off CD's as
ringtones. My guess is that there is not a ringtone
of "Kawaipunahele" out there anywhere for downloading, right? I'd be
shocked if there was. You never know though. Maybe there is, but I
highly doubt it. How about any of you?
