Great Hawaiian music from the keys....

Did You Know? - Historical documentation of Hawaiian music does not extend prior to the late 18th century, when non-Hawaiians (haoles) arrived on the island. From 1778 onward, Hawaii began a period of acculturation with the introduction of numerous styles of European music, including the hymns (himeni) introduced by Protestant missionary choirs.

Spanish-speaking Mexican cowboys (paniolos), were particularly influential immigrants in the field of music, introducing string instruments such as the guitar and possibly also the technique of falsetto singing, while Portuguese immigrants brought the ukulele-like braguinha. Immigrants from all over the world had brought their own instruments along with them to the islands.

The fisherman displays his catch

Rondeliers in Hawaii July 19th 2013
Gary would catch something interesting... A Pilikoa

Did You Know? - Hilupilikoa Pilikoa, Also Known as Paracirrhites! The aquarium at Waikiki, Honolulu, claims the rarest and most beautiful fish in the world. They are odd in shape having all the hues of the rainbow with the tints laid on as if with the brush. No painter can imitate them nor language do them justice. Words are inadequate to accurately portray these exquisite colors and weird shapes

Rondeliers in Hawaii July 19th 2013
Ben has sold the fish at least three times this evening....

Dinner, Announcements & Meeting The New Board

Did You Know? - When Polynesian seafarers arrived on the Hawaiian Islands in 300–500 AD, a few edible plants existed in the new land, aside from a few ferns and fruits that grew at higher elevations. Botanists and archaeologists believe that these voyagers introduced anywhere between 27 and possibly more than 30 plants to the islands, mainly for food.

The most important of them was taro. For centuries taro, and the poi made from it, was the main staple of their diet, and it is still much loved today. In addition to taro, sweet potatoes and yams were planted. The Marquesans, the first settlers from Polynesia, brought breadfruit and the Tahitians later introduced the baking banana. These settlers from Polynesia also brought coconuts and sugarcane.
