As an electric violinist, I’ve always been chasing the perfect sound. I never liked the super compressed flat/sterile “electric violin” sound, but I enjoy the benefits of not running into feedback issues on large/loud stages. I’m currently reworking my pedalboard. Check out my Substack!

Sometimes, you only need a rail to hold on to to catch yourself. And sometimes, you can be that rail for someone.

R.I.P. Roy Bucks. He connected me with the Paniolo music scene on Hawai’i Island. And he always made me wear his shirts and hats 😄 Many fun memories! A fabulous bass player and singer, and true gem in the local music scene. My dear fellow NS Design player, be well and be happy. Mahalo Nui Loa 🤙🌅

I enjoy sitting in #zazen with the albatrosses at Ka’ena Point on the island of O’ahu. Soon, they will take of and start their journey. #BirdWatching #Oahu #Inspiration

Can you imagine such a bag shop sized adequately? All bags in this store would easily fit on one shelf. The extra space would be perfectly sized for a few studio apartments, e.g., to help solve the houseless crises on O’ahu. #housing #oahu #consumerism
