      Aloha all. Well, here it is, at long last. I finally started putting my lyrics out for all to read. Still don't have a CD out yet, but I'm working on it. Meanwhile, you can print out the lyrics so when you come to a gig you can sing along. Just click on the song name.

        I sometimes am asked how a person can "get started" playing music. Umm. . . Welllllll. . . . . Grab an instrument and start practicing? I'm a dilettante at music. It's not my entire career. But I have picked up a few things. One way to get gigging is to do freebies. Here is a link to an article I wrote on the topic: "In Hawai`i We Call it "Kokua."    http://www.epinions.com/content_82187030148 

       See ya! Leilehua.

A lot of changes have taken place over the years, but I'm still hamming it up every chance I get. I wish I still had that little `ukulele of small kid time.
