That Ray Mayron is a constantly ear pleasing tune playing dude. Ray has motivated this note of thankfulness. I have been enjoying him so much. Bill Best is the best. Bill brings a comforting smile to my wife’s face too, with his voice. Pistol Pete never lets us stop rocking( Primus Sucks!). I still miss Party Time with Phat Tony. It goes on and on. The Hula Honeys remind me to be classy. Tim Stokes really fills a needed genre as well. Thank you for being there.

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 love your radio station. Since discovering it while visiting Maui in October of 2022, I’ve streamed it at least 20 hours a week. I love the eclectic music mix, the real DJs choosing what to play, the volunteer aspect of the the staff, and the archives I can download. However, you have just topped yourselves with the new app. Up until now, I’d have to check an independent playlist if I wanted to know what song was being played. Mana’o, do not change.

The music you’re playing today, & most days, puts me in a good mood. Uplifting, memories, eclectic mix, I love it! And, I don’t have to be in love with somebody, if he can do a two step, I would be so happy! Keep it up, Dr B!!

To All You Great People,
Long time listener here. Always great and new music with no effort on my end.
Bill Best is the best. Such a never ending great host. He has a level of delivering great music and comedy consistently unmatched by anyone. Phat Tony voted number 1 for a reason. The time he put into his shows was reflected by the best 4 hrs of the week. One of the happiest moments in recent history was coming out of the pandemic. Bill Best and Phat Tony banter as their shows butted up to each other. It was the best step on getting back to normal. The Hula honey’s are the sweetest giggling woman. Who are just beautiful and entertaining. Pistol Pete is a rocker. Man that dude is blood pumping let us rock show. Brent’s Garage is ear pounder also. A Monday Morning Fire Alarm show. Is the kickstart this week of pace I enjoy. Hawaiian Steel show gives me such pleasure. Duncan Mac such a positive expression through and through.Her made me want to be nicer to the world always.
