My guestbook comments

As I am trying to save money to pay for my music and eventually buy another guitar and a keyboard and other music stuff, thought I would post the comments from my guest book. These people have been great, helping me go one step forward. My Mum almost had to cancel all my music lessons but because of these people I am able to continue.

Thank you again everyone....

Kalawai was away at one of her concerts while I stayed but I was able to meet her younger sister and brother. I had a wonderful stay and I was so grateful that there was a place to stay that was more personable and less hotel-ish in feel. Mahalo so much again and the best to you, your musical career, your sweet mother and darling younger siblings.

It's a great location to go anywhere on Molokai because it's so central. Oh yes, and my son loved the clubhouse!!! Hope to do it again soon and catch some more shows. Kulia

BIG MAHALO

I was fortunate enough to play my first solo on stage thanks to Hotel Molokai and Mo Bettah band. I have to give many mahalos to Uncle Lyndon, Uncle Earl and Aunty Tanya who gave me the encouragement and confidence to calm my nerves.

One other person that needs thanking is of course Mum, my brother and sisters, Aunty Gloria, but Uncle Alika and also Steve from Orange County who helped contribute to my fundraising efforts.

My Mum and I have raised over $500 so far... The money will be going to my Venice Trip which is all about singing in January.....

Then there is Uncle Jay who helped fixed my guitar and I am trying to raise money for an all out custom, made on Molokai Guitar by Uncle Jay.....who knows maybe next year I may have some Hawaiian songs under my belt. But in the meantime I am creating my own style.....

One other Mahalo that I must not forget and that is Lono who gave me the talk a year a go and the words stay firm in my heart and I hope that his words will always stay with me...

Will be back with some more updates and progress as I move forward in my direction..trying to remain grounded and focused......

Kalawai

Working on getting some music of my music online

I am having just one problem, though, trying to arrange through the computer but fingers crossed I may have a couple of tracks soon...Just bear in mind, they may just be my own creation and that is from a 14 year old!!!

My front yards

This is Molokai's front yard and my favorite ocean spot, the longest fringing reef in the USA and some pictures from the fundraising project for Youth In Motion. My Mum, Clare Mawae organized this event for 5 years and plans to do another for 2010. All proceeds go to a youth or youth organization of the participants choice with a percentage going back to the Youth on Molokai...

We will keep you updated on the next event for 2010.......
