Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Tom's Gone to Hilo
Hi Mark, hate to break it to you but Hilo, Kona & the Big Island didn't get their Lion's share of the whaling glory cause Lahaina was the favorite hang out for all the folk musicians. Head cross the HaHa (Alenuihaha) channel to where the whalers used to hang out (same spot as the musicians, the bar at the Pioneer Inn by the Banyan Tree). It's been quite awhile but there used to be a good bunch of musicians in the area, some of them out on the Roadstead & some played the local spots but for the most part they hovered around the restoration of the Carthiginian. Hope the music comes by more often. Barry
