hambone Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Funny how music can transport you back to a specific time in your life, from the way the air felt and smelt to the way you felt at that time. . Beautiful music it is also amd unlike anything else in the world. I heard this song the other day by Keola and Kapono Beamer, whose mom Nona Beamer was a familiar face around the house. Hawaii has many different races in one place and we all make fun of each other. Frank Delima is the master of it, but this song, Mr San Cho Lee, summed it up well... Mr. San Cho Lee Mr San Cho Lee (Mr San Cho Lee), got plenty lychee Got plenty lychee, but he no give to me And he Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubFrog Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 How about Israel Kamakawiwo'ole? Please be easy on the dumb tourist. I only know the islands as my 2 week Honeymoon and I'm sure there's more traditional stuff out there that the locals listen to. However, while we were there, we were treated to this music all over Maui and the Big Island. Anytime I think of IZ, I think of one of the best trips I've ever taken. The food was amazing, the weather was amazing, the service industry was amazing, etc. etc. I want to buy a vacation house in Kapalua or Lahaina.

Bruddah IZ's passing was a great loss... he is the only non political / government figure that was allowed to Lie In State at the capital Rotunda.... I remember going to see the original "Makaha sons of Niihau" at the old M's Ranch House.. his brother Skippy .. same size and he made unreal music... Skippy past long before Bruddah IZ.... btw.. the average house in Hawaii not kapalua or Lahaina starts at 1 mil. .. the area's you want .. sheesh...put it this way Lanikai beachfront goes for 7 mil. .. some estates on the beach in Kailua... 23 mil on up.. we can dream... Wow.. married here.. we take for granted what people dream about.. time to reevaluate ... I am blessed and grateful to live here.. even though the cost of living is one of the highest ....

hambone Posted June 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Yeah Lani, Hawaii is not like it was when we were in school. 10 cent bus fare. Checkers and Pogo. They have L&L BBQ here in Vegas but not the same. Sukenjos plate lunch in Waikamilo is the most ono. Speaking of ono, Ono Hawaiian food on Kapahulu is awesome, if they are still there. I lived Kapahulu area for awhile and that street was full of great grinds. I'm getting hungry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omni Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Wow.. married here.. we take for granted what people dream about.. time to reevaluate ... I am blessed and grateful to live here.. even though the cost of living is one of the highest ....Lucky you live Hawaii. Anyplace else is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there. Every time you leave the islands and come back, you do reevaluate........and appreciate it more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, my friend, I did say WANT to buy...not necessarily will. However, one day, who knows. My wife and I vowed that we will visit Maui every other year or at least within a 5 year period. I want to golf at Kapalua Bay again! On the big Island, we stayed at Chalet Kilauea in the Ohia rain forest (outside of Volcano Village, Hilo). It was the most unique place I'd ever been...couldn't live there, but it was most certainly worth the stay. Additionally, there was a Thai restaurant called "Thai Thai" that has to be the best Thai food we'd ever had. I know that's not pure Hawaiian, but we're going back there one day as well. I'll let you know next time we're in Maui...we should meet for a "Lava Flow" or 2 or 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I attended Kaiser High, we lived in the house at 175 Hanapepe Loop, purchased in 1974. The Portlock cliffs were a regular hangout and I have spent many days there. My dog even used to jump off the cliffs to fetch a tennis ball. It is that spot where I befriended Paul andLinda McCartney, as they were renting the cliffside hom used for both Hawaii 5-O and Magnum PI. Great memories. Mahalo for the update on the grinds bruddah!
