Lyle, this was the lineup: Owana Salazar, Keoki Kahumoku, Reggie Berdon, Aku Kua, Brother Noland, John Keawe, Pam Garza with Walter Carvalho, Ledward Kaapana, Dennis and David Kamakahi, Jon Yamasato, Mike Kaawa, Ocean Kaowili. I don't know who's new, because this was my first time at the festival. If you write to East Hawai'i Cultural Center, 141 Kalakaua St., Hilo, HI 96720, I'm sure they'll put you on their mailing list for next year's festival.

Thanks for the link, kat. This may be a more direct link to Dancing Cat Records, which will get you to info about slack key and their catalogue (and info about George Winston, of course). So Micca, when you comin' da islands, bra?

Aloha,
Mark
