Buy the CD. Bring it with you on your next trip to Hawaii, and you can take your pick:
1. I'll take you on a day hike up into our gorgeous Koolau mountain range or around the stunning seaside pali (cliffs) by Makapuu or any number of way cool places in paradise.

2. I'll give you a windsurfing lesson (I'm pretty darn good at it). The next album will probably include a windsurfing song.
3. I'll sing you a song (or two or ten) at one of our gigs.

By the way, check out our little website. I'm a trivia nut...we even employ trivia in our live shows...and our site has questions and infoI change 'bout every week.
Thanks for reading this far...now for the traditional stuff!
