basically stopped the show here in seattle committee media because you know we've been really busy with another show called there in the islands and i'm hoping all the viewers that are out there can go ahead and you know go that way instead of watching over here fly and we're really really sad about the fact that this is our last show for highways talking on this in the magazine we have been here for you know quite a long time and it's been a journey and we've  he said oh we're going to we're going to record the final broadcast this afternoon can you come and be part of it so here i am i'm so glad you're here we've gone through so many journeys together to you know it's kind of funny because for twelve and a half years i was on the hawaii radio connection radio show and because of job changes for me i had to leave that show just but it was because of that show that i first heard of this show because bill started this program about three months before i started working on that show am and again it was awesome but i have to tell you about that one because really fun but i don't want to be rude because we do have to really special guest special guests and this is a family from from the south seattle o their their family and to welcome you here in our last show lisa elise and we have exactly where i am dimitri and we have a special guest at the very end of the show where we're going to be pla strike so we decided that we were going to bring them in the studio so that people could see who the radio folks are and bring them into vacancy a face to the voices so they came in and were doing  interview and i think at the knuckle was there and it was just a few began where you think you might have been i don't know but i think i would have remembered this one open well they were just being so silly they were talking about all kinds of different things and we laughed so hard we were laughing so hard and they were trying to be so dignified and i don't think that they knew how to act when they're not behind that that is now legal and in the background you can hear them talking in the background i'm just kind of looking at the because i had just said we're going to be on here but anyways it was bunda see that their journey as well as changed and and i mean we're not the same people as well look at how many of these things we've been focused on the show are still going at it besides the fact the big show kept on going for as long as it did and the whole why real connection  using the television is not only did we get a chance to interview some very special people but they were able to share their own a lot in their own way  many people and some of the folks that we've had that are no longer here with us is like you know bill to pay for that was one of them to me he was in here and did the show and then in addition to doing  for a surprise birthday party yeah for former for the producer director of the show and he didn't know anything about it and were trying to explain the bill to pierre who was he was just pushing a hundred t hollow with us and waited and waited and waited and bill comes in the lights go on and he just got into the prizes he played music and sang and talked with everybody was in the sun and he said you know i don't get to do things like he was an amazing man because as i say he was right around one hundred years old when his second career got started and he would go out on the road and i did his road manager who said ok well we book a show like about every three days so get a little downtime ca scold we want to relax and take it easy and he looked at the schedule looked at the a look at the schedule he says welcome without doing show every night well because i thought you might want to know i don't know how much tom i get left give me a program every night if you can do two in a day i'll do that so they filled up the schedule that you would do today sometimes you want to stuff he bought a house in the last few years of his life and they were saying well you know probably just what maybe a ten shared a story were he had taught that will clearly and to clark gable and some of those actors that he has actually survived and were like are you kidding so he was like a living political discussion we had many people talking about different sides really macaca bill we had stuff talking about gambling you had religious topics spiritual topics on the program you had we basically who happen to be in town oftentimes is who we would bring on to the show because you know people who love her we want to know about who's in town what's going on in that with what they had they had an opportunity that we had we interviewed balls that were teaching works i remember the one piece in woman from guam and she was still beautiful and she got up here and she danced and she didn't have a place to change she found a place to change in the studio mister and we had camera people were like all this is really interesting this is really fun but she was just so you know she was just so herself and she got up and she danced and it was  was wonderful so you're right we've had we've had young people we had one of those really memorable ones for me with patricia weber remember her and i do very well as a beautiful little dancers and she's a i'm a lovely lady with down's syndrome and she did a beautiful he does the who i am she did silent night in sign language and after you know we were like just totally blown away with watching her do that and she warmed up well and then and then how special it was for our keiki and that allowed to have the different local talented musicians that would come in and help playing music community it became kind of oldish and as could we list all the people who have played because i'm not from what you originally but i've gotten drawn into it through family and to discover that the community here is so strong and so tight and so supportive but you can have two radio programs in seattle a television program here you get a radio program and we had then then you know years before when we first started there was not any canoe club right there there was no canoe club and look in the quantities to have the one who the festival mainland based rather than the why and don't seem to want to really focus of course they want to focus more on sharing the art of who you think that's part of the reason of the competition aspect of by the way just because it kind of made a conscious choice to say let's look focused which well i think that initially when it hurts what's going on here the intent was to have a competition together and it started off that great and then what i see became what started to happen was that we were beginning to then look at making sure that the quality was matched to what we had back in school and when that quality began to happen i had i believe in that that the cool took there at least for my for our whole owl i end up taking our focus off of the real aloha spirit and when when you win what that was not my intent but when you do win then there is comes from b competition in we're going to do what we can to beat that allow that element began to kind of go through in the best and it undermines our hurt so we several of us chose to go back to our roots go back to what really is in our hearts and that is dish and so we made a conscious decision that we chose the places that we knew everybody would be welcoming what we do when we get together we can laugh together we can call co together we can share and have those moments speaking to family and sharing with you a little time with the family i would love to do that or the end because what we want to do is that is what we're celebrating in our in our show today we have another show called there in the islands and greg's going to be part of that and working with some more music and sharing with that we're going to have more hula dancing or we're going to have more fun and hawaiian culture that you've embraced the thing that i like the most is that it's very family oriented and it's all about sharing what's in your heart and i love that about that about  it just it just makes you happy and makes everybody happy you go look at people the audience and they're all smiling and that's it's just a wonderful activity that now my children are involved and so it makes me happy that i can go on stage with my children and see them back there giggling and laughing and having fun made my life a whole lot different this past year plus you know where they are yeah and today they were as if everybody that dances the hula  and you know what we were able to say yeah so this is a family that is an example that why don't we give everybody a treat in our are a lot to them a gift of us doing a song c saturdays at eleven thirty on b o s t v and you'll see these boys will see again and we'll be there playing music singing and dancing and laughing a little
