For 14 days I was immersed in Hawaiian music. Fourteen days. It’s been difficult, until today, to re-engage with the island sound because of the recency of being there.

Today I turned it back on and instantly the waves were pounding outside, the spray was in the air and the LGE was sitting beside me smiling about how much she loved the whole experience. I decided today that I will continue to play the music I love. Although, I realize at home it might become passe for those around me so I’ll limit the exposure.

Sure enough the island tunes will be core to my to-and-from work personal DJ se-lec-tion (pronounced, “sa lex she’on”). And likely what I will enjoy at the office each day. Heck, I can tune into the island radio stations by what of the net any time (yessur). Knowing we’ll soon return to Hawai‘i makes it even sweeter.

Aia no i ka mea e mele ana. (Let the singer select the song).
