quality and i heard it actually in i was at a shopping mall and i was walking around i heard it i heard over the speaker so i was telling him your music is reaching way beyond just the local community which we love with all our heart but their music  october twenty second and it will be down and jack hyde park on the coast beautiful ruston way and it starts at eleven am and the registration is ten dollars if you want to inquire about it and all the information that you want to know about what is happening in the local community all you have to do is go to groups dot yahoo dot com backslash group backslash n w hawaii calendar dot com so that's all the information you want to know about what's happening locally and you know one of the things too i know if i can get it up there probably can but i'm going to try to see if i can but you know what i can do while i'm trying to get everything set up in the computer with some of the photographs of some of the things that are happening locally i'm actually going to take you over to the gentleman that is here today and talking about his new cd and also his tour in august with hala and also he'll talk about his grammy award we talked about the last time we were at the other studio but today we're going to actually was the first or the first kilometer it was called days of this coverage that we back in two thousand and and charlie was actually at the time he just won the grammy award i heard about him and i was at that time i was doing a television show have it wherever my wherever i'm living i'm splitting my time between in hawaii in washington now but i work mainly out of la but trucks now charles brought me in studio and  theater and it was back in i think seventy four seventy five and i was there when just when call upon was hitting a really really big in hawaii and that whole contemporary music scene was happening you know it's  blast it was sold out and it was kind of like the beginning of our road trip on you know going places and recording albums and so that's brings back memories and that's you know mackie was my roommate when we were living in malibu china record  some expand on his skills as a songwriter arranger session musician singer and player engineer crafting songs that has written crafting songs that he has written over the years into the collection of sonic stories project as i would engineer other albums produce other people and it was this this is just like a little pet project for me just to you know chronicle my songs that i've written over the was you know like there's a the first song i ever wrote which is when i was fifteen and then also songs about my grandkids so that's the span of time that these songs represent  it's pretty much a you know a really a one man band kind of thing where i i played a lot of the instruments but i also have a guest artists on here like john sixteen originals that i've been cultivating and writing or period of time and so it's finally gone yeah you know you were talking put on here is are the ones that live here in washington and i have two more at home on the big island and that's in a back in the middle and you kelly and there they were there singing on this new project that i'm working on and at this particular session we were tracking vocals for a song i really pleased that their own musical abilities plus mom and dad sent them you know they're taking piano and vocal lessons it's really  seeing k reunion thirty thirty fifth reunion concert and that's the group summer that played with back in the seventies and this is quite unusual because the four original like a high school reunion you know all of the all of us that were in that area era just had a had a really nice time seeing each other japan next august two thousand and twelve and that's going to be there for a month and slike sixteen shows in two or three cities and so before we to tour we recorded new album and so when i get back that's kind of what we'll be doing but there's a possibility that i wanted to bring a caller here to  seattle and do to do some little shows here kind of like give us a tune up before we go into the studio and before we go to japan and  after high school in like seventy two seventy three and we we played you know i ended up playing we played a lot of college you know then so that last you know there was a lot of fun but when when my first child was born you know you kind of get your priorities  in order and travel in and that musician lifestyle wasn't conducive so in seventies i think was seventy seven or so  that's that's when it ended around then as far as for me the group went on for a couple more months but then when they got back they disbanded but we still play arranging writing and writing has been i think what what why i do the studio is i write a lot of songs and  is kind of like a second career when after i left the group then i decided to move the family to the big island to actually raise corn a coffee because my family had  resort which is no longer in existence anymore because of the tsunami yeah so what i played there for like twenty five years or so and then just started you know during that time i built my own studio and ended up  starting engineering for the people and i am one of the first artists i recorded was john calvin and from that first album there today were we still i neat experience to see the change of the seasons really i mean it's beautiful right you know to see to be turning red and yellow i was touring the campus here and
