Sweet Hollywaiians	Aug 8 2009 12:28 AM "Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders) Promotional Video(My Girl From The South Sea Isles) "The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff

Katherine Alice	Jul 4 2009 8:18 PM Wow Egypt? That's great! I've always wanted to go. I'm ok, still struggling to get legal so I can come home. I'm so desperately home sick at the moment. I was laughing so much this morning because I remembered something hillarious, you and I were the only ones on Dale one afternoon and found that bag full of Ann bensons old clothes. Remember?? She had such great fashion taste. Xxxx
