Well here we are in 2024, one Vanikapila behind us and another just on the horizon.
Mahalo nui to those who turned up for our first Vanikapila of this year and help us greet the New Year with Mele (songs), Strums and Aloha. Check it out below.

Because of scheduling issues we will not be playing at the Elks. Hopefully, we’ll be there in February.
However, we will be holding our second Vanikapila this Saturday. If you will be joining us Saturday IRL (In Real Life) please click here to register for the event.

we are given time, never knowing when or where, we can only strum.
Just want to add a few images from the California Academy of Sciences Away Team:

Mahalo to Patrick and Jariah for taking all the wonderful photos!
What a great beginning to a New Year. Mahalo Nui Loa to those that attended and made it a successful event!
Mahalo to our UFOR’s (Roadies), Ralph, Pauline and Wally for a record setup and tear down. Not once, but twice!
Mahalo to our Hula dancers for engaging the audience and their wonderful dances.
By the way our Host, Patrick Sysiong, told me, “Funny how it’s always sunny when you folks come . . . see you folks next year . . .”
Hele palekana (safe trip) No’eau!
See you folks Saturday.

Well, we just had our last Vanikapila of 2023 and now about to have our first Vanikapila of 2024.
But before that, we have our performance at the California Academy of Sciences on the 1.1.2024. For those of you attending please read the note from our host, Patrick Sysiong, below.
Hi Del,
I just wanted to give you a slight update prior to your performance on Monday.
-Hopefully we have enough parking space for your group, but there is always parking around the park if we run out of space. We have been seeing large attendance at the academy, and there can be a bit of delay getting into the park later in the morning. So please be prepared for park traffic.
-We have a slight update to our check-in process. Both performers/chaperones and guests are required to check in with our Envoy system, but only performers are required to sign the participant waiver.
If you have any questions, please let me know! Looking forward to seeing your group on Monday!
Best,
Patrick
So do please keep in mind that our first performance is at 12pm and the last at 2pm. Remember to bring a music stand and your CAS Flight Manual. I’ll bring a few copies for those who don’t have tablets or printers. Keep in mind that space is limited on stage so do consider sharing a music stand when/if possible. Wear colorful aloha attire and bring lots of extra Aloha so we can Strum In The New Year.
Below, images from our last Vani/Kani of the 2023. Yes, that is our very own Madison and Kimo-sabe joining us.

Stay warm and dry out there, hope to see you folks next week!

Another year . . . already? I’m shaken AND stirred . . .
