Kauai Festivals, Proper Standing Form & Capo Intonation TroublesVideo Podcast: https://forum.ukuleleunderground.com/threads/do-you-even-need-the-thumb-the-uu-podcast-164.169140/This Week, we're getting a recap of some of the Going-ons happening on Kauai and Oahu. Aldrine talks about the Kauai Ukulele Festival, the Hawaiian Culture that was shared at the festival, and the performers including his own Academy. Then the guys review the Brewers Festival which featured a Looping Performance from Mike Love (not from the Beach Boys). Aldrine gives a "Shoutout" to Sarah and Craig, and explains how his One Piece tournament went on Oahu. A viewer asks for Proper Form when Standing or using a Strap? Aldrine demonstrates how if you have Proper Form, you don't even need your thumb in the back of the neck to play. A couple more audience questions include how Aldrine keeps his picking nails nice, why ukes go out of tune when using a capo, and if pressing down too hard will cause grooves in the fret?

In this special episode to celebrate the 2025 Merrie Monarch Festival, we sit down with Kumu Hula, Karl Veto Baker, of Halau I Ka Wekiu for a heartfelt conversation that weaves together the art of hula and the spirit of aloha. Kumu Veto shares how his haumana prepare for Merrie Monarch and what it means to watch his dancers rise to the moment. He describes the 50th teaching anniversary of his mentor, Kumu Hula Robert Cazimero, and reflects upon the Hawaiian Renaissance that shaped a generation of cultural practitioners. In the spirit of aloha, Kumu Veto also describes his friendship with Pono Shim and how Pono became the Kahu of Halau I Ka Wekiu. As a businessman himself, we also dive into the intersection of culture and business as well as his hopes for a thriving Hawaii in which kamaaina have the opportunity to come home and give back to their communities. And of course, this episode would be remiss if we didnʻt get an exciting glimpse into the Halau's 2025 Merrie Monarch performances. Join us for a celebration of hula as a way of life.

In this conversation, we discuss his people-first approach to business and envisioning a prosperous Hawaii economy. Robin reflects on his long-standing friendship with Pono Shim, exploring how their intertwined careers have shaped his philosophy of aloha.

Most recently, he was selected as a member of the Governor's Climate Advisory Team. To give a glimpse into his world, Robin ideates about the power of observation in business, the significance of sharing meals together, the impact of Hawaii's small community culture on economic decisions (from tourism to military), and the integration of aloha into both relationships and written contracts. Robin opens up about his lifelong commitment to living up to the Hawaiian name that Pono gifted to him from the elders -  and his hopefulness in Hawaii's future as we strive to "remember who we are."

We are changing up the format of this "Above the Sides" episode to bring you a story that was gifted from Uncle Pono Shim to our dear friend Hye Jung Kim Tano from Education Incubator and Foundations of Aloha. This story is about his experience being part of the groundbreaking ceremony and blessing of the Prince Kuhio Federal Building in 2010 after a major renovation.

As he reflects on the last 31 years serving Kaneohe (and beyond), Herb shares about how restoration of aina (land; that which feeds) can also heal our connections to community, self and spirit. The foundation for him has, and always will be, aloha. Herb credits his friendship with Pono Shim as a valuable touchpoint throughout his life and career and reflects on their many conversations about Hawaii's future.  We discuss the importance of reclaiming a producer mindset as a foundational element for healthy economic development grounded in Hawaiian values.

Tyrone Montayre is the President and Founder of Protect and Preserve Hawaii, an environmental nonprofit founded in 2019 to care for Pia Valley, Oahu. In this episode, we hear first-hand from Tyrone what it is like to transition from a full-time mechanic to a  conservationist and entrepreneur and dive deeply into the learning curves of starting a new organization. After his motherʻs passing, he made an unexpected decision to purchase 330 acres of preservation land at a City and County of Honolulu auction. From there his purpose expanded. Tyrone's aloha for Hawaii comes across clearly, not only in his unique path to conservation, but in his creative efforts to engage volunteers and bring much-needed awareness to place-based education, native ecosystem restoration and raising the bar for conservation pay rates. The Protect and Preserve Hawaii team and its enthusiastic volunteers are cultivating a prosperous model in Pia Valley - not only to strengthen relationships between people and ʻāina, but between people and their greater purpose.

Ever found yourself unexpectedly moved by an animated film from your childhood? That's exactly what happened to Anthony as he rediscovered the profound themes woven through Disney's "Lilo & Stitch" during a recent rewatch. Joined by Dakota, we don't just debate the correct way to say 'Stitch'—we plunge into the heart of the film's message on family and belonging. Lilo & Stitch, affectionately termed 'ohana', echoes the powerful narrative of the movie, reminding us that family isn't always defined by blood, but by the bonds we forge.As we meander through the quirky world of aliens and Elvis tunes, Dakota and Anthony reflect on how "Lilo & Stitch" diverges from typical Disney fare. The movie's merchandise dominance and the upcoming live-action adaptation pose intriguing conversations—will the original's unique charm survive the transition? We dissect the emotional rollercoaster of Lilo and Nani's story, laughing and tearing up in equal measure. And of course, Anthony couldn't resist sharing his latest gaming obsession, "Tower of Fantasy," comparing its gacha elements to "Genshin Impact" and musing on its "Neon Genesis Evangelion" crossover event.Rounding out our chat, we delve into the broader conversation about how the post-9/11 landscape prompted changes in the entertainment industry, citing specific alterations to "Lilo & Stitch" that showcase Disney's sensitivity to a grieving nation. The discussion extends to the responsibility of filmmakers in shaping content that mirrors societal shifts. By the episode's end, whether you're a Disney enthusiast or a gamer at heart, you'll find a harmonious blend of nostalgia, insight, and laughter with a dash of critique for modern adaptations.

I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Micah Kamohoali'i when I was in Sydney for SXSW recently, and I knew immediately we would need a LONG chat! This discussion was a pleasure from start to finish: we start off discussing how Micah found himself working in the tourism industry, and what tourism in Hawai'i has been like over the years: with ups and downs of how responsible it was (and wasn't) and the different kinds of tourists they were attracting. In a wide-ranging discussion which moves us via snakes in the grass to pounding bark for cloth, and incredibly then to the story of Micah being invited to take part in New York Fashion Week, whatever we talk about, Micah's clear love of Hawai'i and Hawaiian culture shines through and we finish up by hearing about his proudest moments from a splendid (and ongoing!) career.

I am from the island of Hawaiʻi. Raised on family ʻāina that was given to my great great grandfather through a Royal Patent Land Grant in 1850. I am the 5th generation to be raised on family land with all of our kupuna, including my parents, buried on the property. My father was a manaleo, native Hawaiian speaker and chose not to teach me ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi as he reflected on his time of being punished in school for speaking Hawaiian. Growing up, I intently watched and learned from my parents. My mother, a nurse, loved working with adults with mental illness who needed someone in their lives to see them through their issues - she used the art of inclusion to build their purpose in life. My fatherʻs knew how to deal in a western space at the same time being true to his ancestral knowledge and protective of all things Hawaiian - kind yet a force to reckon with. These features led me to do what I am doing today in a heavily cultivated western non-Hawaiian space. I have a kuleana that requires me to mālama with aloha with an end goal of pono. Iʻve been a musician in Waikīkī for 3 decades, recorded several recordings, garnered several awards for music and a couple for community engagement. I worked at a non-profit organization for near;y 20 years serving adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Iʻve been at the Hyatt Regency for 7 years as their Director of Hawaiian Culture and Community Relations. Along with some friends we created a small community organization called The Hawaiian Music Perpetuation Society - preserve, promote, perpetuate Mele Hawaiʻi.

A lifelong learner, Hiʻilani Shibata has spent the last 20 years in the field of education, both formal and informal. Born and raised in Hilo, Hawaiʻi, she moved to the island of Oʻahu to attend the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa where she graduated with a BA in ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi. While finishing her last year in college she was also teaching ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi at Kailua Intermediate school part time and realized that formal education was not her calling. She then joined the education department of the Bishop Museum where she blossomed in informal education in which sharing the Hawaiian culture through the kūpuna was the mission and she was able to travel all over Hawaiʻi and the United States to share the aloha of our kanaka ʻoiwi. Hiʻilani dedicated 12 years of her life as the Education Operations Manager at the Bishop Museum and ended that chapter of her life to start a family. Today she still does contract work as a Hawaiian Culture trainer and consultant, she is a full time kumu a Hawaiian focused Charter School, Ka Waihona o ka Naʻauao in Nānākuli, and her small ʻohana mālama ʻāina in Waiāhole.

In this episode, I am sharing my observations of ʻiliʻili, smooth stones along the shore. Have you ever wondered how these stones become so smooth? Itʻs the crashing of the waves that smooth the edges and polish these beautiful stones. What can we learn from the process in nature? I invite you to Listen, Learn, and Live Aloha with me and Morning Manaʻo.

It's a pleasure to share some of my story. Many paths have helped shaped my present. Originally from the East coast BA Wesleyan, MA NYU,) I come from a loving home and an artistic and musical background, where learning and exposure to culture were prominent.  My studies abroad helped me learn to speak French, Spanish, and conversational Japanese. Since 1983, I've given customized  Private tours of the Hawaiian islands, interpreting the story behind the scenery, creating one of a kind educational experiences matched to the guest's interests, needs, and activity level, often to less crowded spots not found in guide books or on the maps. Passionate about culture, nature, language, music, wildlife, teaching, farming, travel, healthy living, art, and spirituality, it's been a wonderful journey integrating these aspects into my life's work. I'm proud to source fruit and flowers from my 2 acre organic farm on Maui to share with our both visitors and the community. A student of traditional Hawaiian dance, chant, protocol  in the award-winning Hālau Hula Kauluokalā under the direction of Kumu Hula Uluwehi Guerrero, the ongoing  immersion in all things Hawaiian motivates me to help elevate our precious host culture, as I share our island(s) with you.  Stories and hands-on experiences will instill within you a sense of the significance of this place, and layers of meaning may be revealed.I also have a record label, Kaulupono Music, exclusively representing the beautiful music of Maui's own Uluwehi Guerrero, and writing the string arrangements and playing flute on select tracks.My goal as an island guide is for you to come away with new acquired awareness, knowledge, and respect for the Hawaiian Culture; indeed there is so much more to the islands than the hotels, beaches, and golf courses.Follow Pono;www.instagram.com/openeyetoursllc/If you have a story to tell;Email: bluelemonadepodcast@gmail.com to be a guest on the showhttps://www.facebook.com/Blue-Lemonade-Podcast-113752514556183https://www.instagram.com/bluelemonadepodcast/www.hatnothate.orghttps://www.facebook.com/hatnothatehttps://www.instagram.com/hat_not_hate/

As Executive Director from 2002 to 2013, his approach was unique and unforeseen in addressing the self-determination of a marginalized people and practices through the means of traditional healing. Studying for years under Alva Andrews, Roxanne Bertelmann, Mālia Craver, George Holokai, Alapaʻi Kahuʻena, Ken Kamakea and other experts, Keola has built his knowledge in lomilomi, hoʻoponopono, lāʻau lapaʻau, hula and lua. As a learning practitioner for many years, he was asked by his kumu to begin teaching on his own which started in 2001. Ka Pā o Lonopūhā, The Academy of Native Hawaiian Healing Traditions has graduated five cohorts of students (52 graduates total) over the past several years and continues to grow. As of 2021, Keola has started an ʻōpio class under Ka Pā o Lonopūhā. Keola's career objective is to conduct integrated programs leading to meaningful community contributions with impact for the Native Hawaiian community.
