[ECLECTIC MUSIC/PUBLIC RADIO FUNDRAISER] Whenever I'm struggling through the workweek, I like to stop searching for exes on MySpace and just take a moment to breathe… ah… and start thinking about what I'm gonna do on Sunday. Maybe I'll begin the day with some yoga and tea then a hike through Iao Valley. Perhaps I'll take a six-pack down to Launiupoko and heckle the surfers. Or better yet, I could cruise upcountry and rollick in the unique blend of bluegrass, country and folk of Randall Rospond and the Haiku Hillbillys, mesmerize in the masterful neo-jazz guitar work of Gypsy Pacific's Tom Conway (shown right), and swoon to the croon of singer-songwriter Micah Wolf. Well, that's just me but really, what the hell else are you gonna do on a Sunday afternoon? Turn off the TV, put down that can of Bud and giddy-on-up to Makawao!
