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!

I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you. I have been a listener for about the last 10 years and you guys are sound better all the time. You are doing a terrific job of bring good diverse music to Maui. I will attempt to mention a few of my favorite shows, but that is only because I happen to listen to music during those times:

the blue bus
dj stealth
phat Tony
Sarahtonin
Sunday afternoon blues
Sunday morning blue grass

I know I’m leaving someone out but please accept my thank you for a job well done. keep on playing those tunes !

-Rocky D

I could listen to Michael Elam’s choice of music all day every day! Love it!

-Patty N.

My daughter Erin Dieguez worked for Mana’o Radio for a few years, and loved the experience. I personally enjoy the variety of music offered by your station and the interesting people!

-Diane H.

Hula Honeys, you made my day by playing ‘S.P.C.’ by Zeca Pagodinho. In Brazil, S.P.C. refers to the debtor in loan documents . Besides being lively and danceable, that classic samba is also poetic and hilarious. Thanks again!

-David Hoyt, Haiku

After living on the Big Island for 28 years we moved to Las Vegas in 2021. Had never heard of your station until I was looking for internet radio while living in LV. I always check you out when driving to work. I really enjoyed your music this Saturday morning.

While listening this morning, I was reminded of a band called St. Germaine, you might like their music. Thanks for the great listening and continued connection with Maui.

My wife and I are contributors living in Minnesota and we stream Radio Mana’o a lot. We exercise in our basement to the Stream and this morningwe caught Tom Littell’s first show. It was fantastic – the sheer randomness of the sets was spectacular. I mean, “Hooray Hooray It’s a Holiday” and “Cat Scratch Fever” in the same set. I actually applauded. Anyway, rookie or not, Littell is really good at this and we look forward to many hours listening to his eclectic array of 60’s, 70’s and 80’s tunes. Well, done!
