Music Pages Read
How this page works: I list concerts twice: once, the first time I hear of them, and the second time in the page immediately preceding the performance. Please note that many times I get concert info way, way in advance (this page contains dates going into December). I don't post them in every page (my pages come out twice a month), in order to save bandwidth. While I appreciate folks who send me email with concert info, quite often I have already calendared those concert -- in previous pages. My back pages are archived at:
I suggest a stroll through them for you die-hard Hawaiian music fans who haven't seen them before -- you can also check out the past recording info in case you want to expand your collection.
