Can't wait for another excellent KB movie from Sparrow-boy. Its good for the KB community to support those who support KBing.
On that note, I ask you all to check out my friend's newest CD just out on Hana Ola Records. Kauai musician/surfer Ken Emerson's latest is entitled
SALCK & STEEL Kaua'i Style. Guest artists include Bill Kruetzmann, Todd Rundgen, Charlie Musclewhite and Pancho Graham. Already garnering excellent reviews in the mainstream Hawaiian media and just being released on the mainland this week.
Ken has donated music tracks to Simon for the past 2 KB movies free of charge. This is a big deal, especially from someone of Ken's caliber; he won a Grammy Award in 2006 for his Hawaiian slack key guitar work. When I asked Ken to kick down the tracks, he didn't hesitate.
So, for a measly $12.95 you can pick up one of the best Hawaiian music cd's that I've ever heard. Go to cordinternational.com and order up.

And keep your ears open. Ken and I are working on a new recording of what I call 'surf ska'. We're taking old surf instrumentals from the late 50's early 60's and skankin' them up with a horn section in a ska styleee.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.
Thanx mucho,
