A friend sent me this and I had to share it. After the singer speaks, hit pause and wrap your head around what she just said. How do you know you’re singing a correct pitch if you can’t hear it? You sing it over and over into a receiver that works much like a guitar […]
In the never-ending quest to eat fresh plants and animals I find myself shopping for groceries on my way home from the office several times a week. Yeah, there’s a Costco haul of massive proportions from time to time but the regular flow of food from the store to my face is usually done in […]
There is plenty of parking around Kawaiaha‘o, if you know where to look! Luckily, our concert is on a Sunday, so street parking and the metered municipals will be free. Street Parking Punchbowl Street, Kawaiaha‘o Street, Mission Lane, and S King Street in front of ‘Iolani Palace and the Hawaii State Public Library all have street […]
Much going on with Memorial Day and family craziness so I wanted to pass on something that I’ve been using for long while. If you’re looking for a zillion pieces of Hawaiian music and chords and EVERYTHING, this is the place: Mike Bonnice’s Massive Library Grab your ukulele and explore!
Greetings from the Windward Choral Society Artistic Director & Founder! I’m listening to a recording of Dan Forrest’s Requiem for the Living as I ponder what I’d like to share with all of you, our Windward Choral Society audience. Why this work?

Before I blast into the blog I just have to show you this amazing thing that I didn’t know existed but everybody should know about because it is SERIOUSLY cool. How about a multi-camera live feed… …from the International Space Station. Totally mesmerizing. Try having it rolling along in one corner of your screen while […]

I’ve flown a lot of things over the years and every one of them that I threw into the sky had some sort of checklist. Preparing to fall in the “up” direction, even if you’ve done it a zillion times and flown thousands of hours, has a certain level of stress and fun and excitement […]
My commute takes me along the Nimitz highway under the H-1 near the airport. This particular stretch has quite a few bus stops so there’s almost always one nearby pulling into and out of one. I was enjoying the adrenaline-filled 5-miles-per-hour pace that speeds along at rush hour when a bus a few cars ahead […]
