* It's called "Hawaiian" for a reason which amuses me because someone who isn't Hawaiian and who doesn't speak the Hawaiian language is now the band leader:


Michael Nakasone, directing the band's Kuhio Day performance, also handles its music selection, administration and community contacts.

Of course as usual the Honolulu Advertiser coins the article, "The band plays on." Totally disrespectful to Hawaiians. Totally! And no I'm not racist against Asians. I'm [part] Chinese too!
