Aloha Ahi Ahi UFOhana,

We have VK#5 coming this Saturday. Hope you’re all practicing Safe Socializing (such as it is), staying healthy and staying safe.

Mahalo Nui to all that joined in last week, I saw the Chat Room a buzz with active chatter. Especially about who was and wasn’t faking it . . . Hula that is. It was like I could almost hear all your voices! Mahalo to Sandy, Nohea and Lineke (Lynnette) for their support at Station K’ULU!

Btw, there’s an interesting meaning behind the “ulu”, part of our “TV Station” name.

Ulu: Possessed by a god; inspired by a spirit, god, ideal, person, as for artistic creation; stirred, excited; to enter in and inspire.

Yes, we are certainly possessed and inspired! Mahalo to Wikio for giving us that name and for the great Station Poster.

Here’s the other interesting definition, if you include the K in the station name.

Kulu: To drip . . . trickle; to flow, as tears;

Hmm, “to Flow?????” Hey, aren’t we “streaming” live? Isn’t that like kind of like flowing?

Anyway, I digress . . .

So last week Sunday, after an inspiring Saturday of Vanikapila, I decided to tackle the North 40 acres . . .

So that was the Front 40 acres after 12pm, the Back 40 acres I finished at about 4pm. Eye bloodied by flying debris, muscles aching, allergies flaring . . . but victorious (Que violins and trumpets)! Good for another year.

Btw, I messed up on the last Master Table of Contents for Vols 1-3 (the dangers of working late into the night with Excel) I sent out a few blogs ago.

I was hoping it would help with your Gig Book users out there and it may had the opposite effect. Anyway, click here for for what I hope is a kinder/gentler/correct copy. It is sorted by volume and then by page, which makes more sense for the GB Users out there.

Ok speaking of late night, I think I’m going to call it sleepy time (as Lucas used to say eons ago).

a silent storm comes,
together we must endure,
health is our weapon.

Malama Pono Ka Kou!

Hola mi Ukulele Familia,

Feliz Cino de Mayo!

Hope you’re able to take some time out to celebrate . . . from a distance and in quarantine. I know it’s not the same without some bebidas, a nice hot Spanish dish and maybe a Mariachi Band playing at your table on the Plaza. But we can always make believe right?

Speaking of make believe. Thanks to all of you that logged into last week’s Vanikapila and chatted (those that could) with us. Definitely an interesting experience to be playing in front of an Electronic Cyclops (my webcam) . . .

. . . knowing that somewhere out there you folks were watching. When I closed my eyes I can almost hear you all singing and playing. Sometimes, even Melann doing her solo and maybe Ted doing a Hula (which reminds me)!

Mahalo Nui Loa to my beloved Nohea for taking charge of the incoming texts (for those that couldn’t connect to the Chat), for providing me the companionship through this COVID crises and of course to our Bass Commander, Admiral Bailey for keeping our hearts in time, together!

We’re scheduling another one this Saturday, same Bat Channel, same Bat Time, Same Bat Flight Manuals!

Holy Onomatopoeia Batman!

Below, the link to this Saturday’s Vaniakpila #4 on Channel K’ULU (echo, echo, echo)!

Below images from last week . . .

Above: New Hula Attire, above right and below: Masks under construction and a broad selection of Aloha fabric for your mask of choice. Available for $10 per mask. Inquire with Nohea (Linda) at 415-572-1175 for mask orders and Hula attire.

UkekU

thoughts merge into dark,
the earth drifts upwards gently,
eyes towards the light.

Me ke Aloha!

Malama Pono Kakou!
