The two Kona Da Kine shows were a great way to start it off at a nice,
funky, grassroots affair with a backdrop of the Pacific behind us, and
beautiful tropical sunsets before the second set each day. What a great
job everyone did who pitched in to help build and decorate the stage
there. The palm fronds and flowers that adorned it were such a nice added
touch to the already magical ambience.

The following day was the boat cruise. What an incredible time! Over a
hundred fans and band packed onto the Body Glove boat for five hours of
cruising, swimming, snorkeling, water sliding, high diving, dancing,
sunning, partying and capped off by a sunset acoustic set by the band,
most still wet from swimming and snorkeling. Most folks didn.t even
realize the boat had gotten back into port and docked while the band was
playing until they had to cut the power off to let us know! The band
wanted to keep playing and no one wanted to get off the boat. What a
memorable day it was.
Then it was on to the wet side of the Big Island for the show at the
Akebono Theater in Pahoa, a night memorable for among other things, the
prodigious tropical rainstorm that followed the show. The downpour on the
way back to the hotel in Hilo was monumental. Then after two days off it
was over to Maui for the final two shows where we picked up some more
mainlanders that had missed the Big Island shows.
Casanova.s was a fun warm up for the next night at Pauwela Cannery, which
seems to be one of the most talked about of the tour. The acoustic set was
held in a small, hot room and was a jam to add accompaniment to a glass
blowing demonstration that yielded a glass skull with a lightning bolt in
the center of it. The energy and intensity in the room was electrifying.
It was amazing to watch the team of glass blowers working together while
the crowd cheered them on.
After a few hours rest, the main event, the last two sets of the tour
began in what turned out to be a wonderfully magical setting. The room,
filled with all manner of art and woodwork. beautiful hand carved pieces
from very large to small, draped opium beds filling the perimeter of the
room.had been transformed into a shangi-la of sorts. Over four hundred
fans filled the room for a very high last show of tour.
Many thanks to all of the dedicated maniacs who pitched in to make this
trip fly. First to Mark & Shelia (sadly, she couldn.t be there for the
shows) for all the time, energy, and finance they put in just to get this
birdie off of the ground. Extra special thanks to Bill K for adding his
special touch to the music and bringing his Aloha spirit to the party! Big
Mahalo to Jon who provided much of the bands stage gear for the tour and
the cool tour poster. And many special thank you.s to all of the mainland
folks who pitched in to help in many different ways. Too many to mention
and we.re afraid we might leave someone out. You know who you are.
