Hawaiian Cruise

Hawaii Cruise 1 2-Day Hawaiian Cruise October 3-15, 2005 Aloha Everyone! Hawaii is absolutely beautiful! Our itinerary was as follows: 10/3 Honolulu - Boarded Carnival Spirit 10/4 Honolulu - Departed at 6PM 10/5 Arrive Nawiliwili, Kauai 10/6 Arrive Kahalui, Maui 10/7 Arrive Lahaina, Maui 10/8 Arrive Kona, Hawaii 10/9 Arrive Hilo, Hawaii We were at sea from 10/10 to our arrival at Ensenda, Mexico on 10/15. We then boarded busses to San Diego or Los Angeles for our trip home. One of things to do when visiting Hawaii is to tour the islands. The scenery is breathtaking. The mountains, the craters, the flowers, the clouds. Words cannot describe Hawaii. One must see it for themselves. Seeing pictures of the Arizona Memorial is one thing, but to see it in person is a very moving experience. After the Arizona, we toured the submarine USS Bowfin and then on to our sister ship USS Missouri. Some of us toured the engine room of the Missouri. Our thanks to Dick Hamann and his friend Stan Nicholls for arranging these tours for us. For this cruise we all wore yellow t-shirts, compliments of the Cruise Connection. Of course, we took a group photo , compliments of our Wisconsin Association. Our cocktail party was hosted by Carnival Cruise Lines. Thanks to Claire and Dick Hamann for another great cruise! Looking forward to our next one in 2007. 1 Approaching Oahu 2 3 4 You can see Pearl Harbor from this vantage point. 5 Some of us climbed to the summit of 763' of Diamond Head Crater. 6 It started out with the sun and ended with heavy rain 7 8 9 This was taken just below the summit of Diamond Head 10 The famous Diamond Head as seen from Waikiki Beach 11 Underwater photos taken from Atlantis submarine 12 13 14 15 16 17 On our way to the Polynesian Cultural Center 18 Great Show!! 19 Sorry for the out of focus pictures.

HAWAIIAN MUSIC REVIEWS By

Hawaiian Music Reviews by Aloha JOE "Aloha Joe.com is one of themost influential Hawaiian Websites on the Internet" (Movieline Magazine) Top 10 Music Reviews Song Lyrics Music Stores Independent Artists EMAIL Aritsts Aloha Radio Rotation Broadcast Schedule NEW HAWAIIAN MUSIC REVIEWS By Aloha JOE (All of these albums have been added to our station rotation) as of 11/07/05 BRITTNI PAIVA - "HEAR..." Brittni Paiva's second album, "Hear..." combines both island and non-island selections. She won a Na Hoku Hanohano award as "most promising artist" for her first album, and will be in contention for "Instrumental album of the Year" for this release. Ms. Paiva (now 17), began recording 2 years ago but has had a fascination with Ukulele, Bass & Slack Key guitar for many years. She plays all three instruments on this album. (using multi-tracking). You'll love her interpretations of the island classics, Akaka Falls & Opihi Moemoe. Brittni wrote several tunes on the album and finishes with her first vocal. She sings "E Lohea Mai" (which means "hear...") in both Hawaiian and Hebrew. The album just touches the surface of this young lady's talent. Look for many more albums and awards in the future from Brittni Paiva! Aloha JOE www.brittnipaiva.com JASMINE TRIAS Jasmine Triass long-awaited self-titled debut album, Jasmine Trias, was released nationwide on July 12, 2005. If the name sounds familiar, it is because she appeared on Fox TVs American Idol. While on the top-rated Fox show, the Hawaii-born Trias joined Fantasia Barrino and Diana DeGarmo to finish in the top 3. Although it has taken Jasmine a while to get her songs and arrangements together, IT WAS CERTAINLY WORTH THE WAIT!

ALOHA JOE HULA JAZZ - Owana Salazar Have you bee trying to add a GREAT album for your Hawaiian music collection? I found it! It's HULA JAZZ! Owana Salazar picked some great island standards that have been just begging to be put to a jazz/swing beat. "Kaulana O Hilo Hanakahi," "I'll Weave A Lei of Stars for You," "Kainoa," and on and on. The steel players are tops in Island music. Alan Akaka, Casey Olsen, Greg Sardinha and Ms. Salazar put the right hula touches to "HULA JAZZ" ALOHA JOE COOL ELEVATION - Ho'okena Ho'okena continues its long line of first-class albums with "Cool Elevation." This is some of their best work to date. <We haveCool Elevation in our store> GRAMMY NOMINEE ALOHA JOE UKULELE BREEZE - Herb Ohta, Jr. Herb Ohta Jr's new release will put smiles on ukulele fans worldwide.

If the name sounds familiar, it is because she appeared on Fox TVs American Idol. While on the top-rated Fox show, the Hawaii-born Trias joined Fantasia Barrino and Diana DeGarmo to finish in the top 3. Although it has taken Jasmine a while to get her songs and arrangements together, IT WAS CERTAINLY WORTH THE WAIT! Jasmine was admittedly excited when she called into Aloha Radios Daily Show from Honolulu on release day! After hearing the album I know whyits GREAT!! What will you find there? Jasmine brings us a 14-song mixture of Pop, R&B, and light urban Hip-Hop which will fit into the rotation of every station that plays these genres. The Aloha Radio Network gives all island artists the opportunity to be heard worldwide whether they perform traditional Hawaiian music, pop, country, jazz, or other styles. We think youll really enjoy this album from Hawaiis American Idol, Jasmine Trias To learn more about Jasmine, visit www.jasminetrias.net To purchase the album www.islandergroup.com ISLAND STYLE - Palm Records - www.palmrecords.com I received a nice surprise from the Big Island of Hawaii, Palm Records' new compilation album, ISLAND STYLE. The 12-track collection presents a wide variety of island tunes by some of Hawaii's best-known artists. Island friends, the Cruz `Ohana, are well represented. Ernie, John & Desiree Cruz (in her "premier performance") each favor us with a tune. Also included are selections by The Mana'o Company, Bryan Kessler, Randy Lorenzo, Lorna Lim, Pomai (another "new" solo performance), Alan Thomas, RJ Kaneao, Robi Kahakalau and the very talented composer and musician, Charles Brotman. ISLAND STYLE contains a well-balanced mix of island talent and songs. The overall outlook for this release is bright and sunny. This will be one of Palm Records biggest sellers. Island Style , and all Palm Records releases, featuring such talents as KOHALA, are in daily rotation on our Aloha Radio Network. All of their albums are well conceived and attractively presented by Art Director, Jody Brotman. Visit their website to see their entire on-line catalog. www.palmrecords.com Aloha JOE SLACK KEY GUITAR Volume 2 - Palm Records A compilation of ten island artists The slack key guitar's roots can be traced back to the early days of the Hawaiian Cowboys. (the Paniolo). In the past ten years, this musical form has moved from the "backyard" to concert halls around the world. The slack key guitar is a solo instrument played with the virtuosity of any concert performance. There are many "slack key festivals" in Hawaii that showcase a variety of artists during one program, but concert promoters around the world can't afford to present ten island performers on one show. That's where SLACK KEY GUITAR V2 from Palm Records comes in handy. It's like having front-row seats at an island Slack Key Festival. Fans of slack key turn to the many instructional books and videos which teach the concept of tuning the guitar and explain the basics of playing, but to really learn, you need to listen to a wide variety of styles. Producer Charles Brotman corralled ten of Hawaii's slack key artisans to present a cross section of musical styles. These range from traditional to more contemporary treatments. Sonny Lim, Ken Emerson, Keoki Kahumoku and Charles Brotman do a pair of tunes each and Bryan Kessler, Randy Lorenzo, Jeff Peterson, Charlie Recaido, John Cruz and John Keawe each favor us with a selection. I'm glad Big Island company, Palm Records, decided that the world NEEDS another album of guitar music because Slack Key Guitar Volume 2 is a perfect learning tool and a wonderful addition to your Slack Key collection. Remember, you can listen and pretend you're attending a concert featuring ten of Hawaii's best.

Soria and Hana Ola Records for putting together this musical time capsule which preserves an era that should never be forgotten.
