It's October...time for the 'ukulele festival. T says it was the best ever!

I've been laying low with a tardy summer cold. It hit me hard in the throat, and my voice that had taken on a Lauren Bacall huskiness quickly deteriorated to a bad case of laryngitis. I had to cancel out on doing the opening chant. Thank goodness for T. He taught his guitar workshop, then substituted for me for the Hawaiian language workshop.

Darn! I missed out a great day with folks I love, lots of friends, and great Hawaiian music. This year I'll have to be content with seeing these pictures that T thoughtfully took for me -- and sharing them with you.

There's always next year...

Ukulele's sound so cool, when you get some spare time drop in on the Wave Shoppe and browse through our women's Aloha shirts, contoured for women in popular Hawaiian prints.
