Its been a grand month. A lot of folks have given up time to help us out and it shows. The "Hula Maidens" came across Big Time.
They danced their hearts out at the big CD release party in Haiku on May 28th, for the Hula Honeys release of "Girl Talk", on Ululoa . Thanks to everyone who came by, and for all the dancers and the lei, and for the wonderful support. We were dwarfed by loving supporters and humbled by friends bearing flowers and more. Both Robyn and I need to stop for a moment to thank the people that did more than their share. THANKS GUYS! It was one of those nights when you wonder if it was real and you hope you thanked everybody and you were sure that you had not. People mopped the floors so we could get our deposit back; stuff like that. It makes you humble when people are so nice . And people are that nice and more. Come to our corner of the Pacific to find a wonderful collection of women dancers, and a community of caring and soulful support and a trio of outlandish creative optimism, that's The Hula Honeys, and their support team, which should not be overlooked. Mahalo from the Honeys!

Tonight was an unexpected treat for me, with Robyn gone off to Napa Valley (to share her wiles and ukulele magic,) I was left to craft a night at the Hana Hou without her. We decided to be Jazz Rats with the cat away, and so I invited Phil Benoit of Benoit Jazz Works and Gypsy Pacific to spell us with inventive solos and great harmonies. It all worked out great. Emily. the wonderful tattooed waitress was in full form (and that's saying a lot) and the naughty jazz boys took many a solo. I tried out new charts and had more fun than the guests, though I didn't eat as much. You all are so kind to frequent our tropic corner of the planet. The nearly full moon shown through the coconut tree out front and the night was bright and lovely here on the island of Maui, floating in the warm and tropic sea. We missed you Robyn, Check out the new charts! Love to all, Ginger
