10 of 83More"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

Personally, I hate parking lots --- but we have so many of them! Sitting there, doing nothing but heating up the atmosphere, so solar parking lots! Community-sustained, secure, renewable electricity! Bonus = community jobs! All over America! So I’m back at university learning GIS to analyze each town’s paved parking areas (Greensboro NC (pop 247,000) has 10.27 square miles of it that will power over 500,000 homes (every year) if covered with photovoltaics!) and I’m starting put_a_lid_on_it …………..……….
Stay tuned!

Help me out here everyone, I'm looking for other organizations anywere in the world that do what we do. I have tried and tried to find them but no luck. I'll list the things BRV does and if you find something or are similar please let me know.
We are on the river cleaning from the inside out instead of on the banks but we do clean the outer limits.
We do organized group clean-ups which is not really anything new.
We are on the river 6-8 hours per day, 3 days per week, every week, for 3 months because there are more than 100,000 people per year who use the Boise river and it get's trashed in one day.
We do public service such as, we patched and pumped more than 150 rafts, and performed more than 90 river rescues per year.
We have a program to get people with disabilities and disadvantaged kids into the outdoors and into conservation.
(actually had a blind guy pick up trash and a woman with only one leg find the first crutch we ever found while she was picking up trash, how ironic is that?)
BRV is an ALL volunteer organization with more than 1000 volunteers signed up. (doesn't meen they all show up of course)
thanks in advance.
