I'd like to wish you all a wonderful holiday season full of love, laughter, and fond memories with family and friends.
But if you're like me and have an adversity to shopping, crowded malls, and overflowing parking lots, just remember what Christmas is really all about - GETTING presents! Just kidding!
Thank you all so much for your good wishes, positive thoughts, and support! I'm so excited to be nominated as an artist for the first time on "ikena", alongside Tia Carrere. I've been riding on her coat-tails since high school, when I got my first opportunity to play at the Waikiki Shell as her pianist in the Brown Bags to Stardom talent competition! hee. hee. I'm also very happy for uncle Dennis Kamakahi who received his first Grammy nomination as a producer on "The Spirit of Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar".
mahalo nui loa (thank you very much),
Daniel
