I’m not much for calling in but want to tell you how very much I enjoy your music and look forward to your show every week (long before I had the pleasure of seeing you perform at the Kaunoa Senior Center). Thank you for your music and volunteer work at Mana’o Radio!

You’re knocking it out of the ballpark tonight. We’re totally digging your show tonight in Littleton CO.

Thank you Mana’o Radio for keeping Maui in my ear while working here on the mainland.

I think your M-F mid-day programs are the best! Bill has always been great. And now w/Jimmy C’s Jazz and Kristy & Sara’s Elec-boost. I look forward to being on the road and listening 10a-2p. Mahalo

Ah… Nobody Knows You… yes Bessie.. tell it like it is! Haven’t heard that song in so long thank you thank you! Awesome! I was listening to this while I was pumping gas at Costco. So I left my door open, the radio blaring, dancing away. The guy on the opposite pump came dancing around… He hadn’t heard it for a long time either. The woman behind me at her pump asked me what station I was listening to. I told her Manao radio… she never heard of it… Now she has! 91.7 I said told her all about everybody was a volunteer from the community that just was there cause They love music. anyway, a new listener! Way to go Bessie and Mike!

I want to thank Dr. B for his Valentine show yesterday (Holoholo Na Mele).  I am in central WA, where the covid stay-home-don’t-mingle time has been made even less bearable by a Polar Vortex Surprise that has dropped over a foot of snow where I live.  Bitter cold temperatures and impassable roads.  Espresso and good chocolate sure help, but it’s a challenge.

My sister, a long-time resident of Wailuku, torments me with photos of green things, her flowers, and descriptions of “cold nights” of 60 degrees.

I caught part of the program yesterday and was immediately warmed and cheered by it.  Now I am replaying it over and over on demand.  The 60’s music took me back to watching American Bandstand after school, and Johnny Mathis singing “The Twelfth of Never” reminded me of seeing him live in Seattle with a rotating mirror ball above him.  To my teenage self, it was like a dream!

So a huge, sincere THANKS to Manao Radio and Dr. B.  Better than chocolate this weekend!
