Dude what a great morning show! Best set of tunes since I had an African American roommate in 1979. Can’t tell you how beneficial this was to me today. Mahalo

Thank you from San Francisco for all the great music. We also had the opportunity to see Kalani P’ea on a short recent visit – a great show!

I live near Boston. Discovered your radio years ago when I read an article about Charles Laquidara retiring to Maui. I’ve been to Hawaii four times. I love the spirit and vibe. And especially your inspirational programming. Keep up the spirit during these recent hard times.

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!

As always your music today was great. We are of the same age range and I think this maybe why I like your music selections so much. I have enjoyed J.J. Cale forever and had the pleasure to see him in concert several times in CA before he became too ill to preform.
Not much into TV. I listen to music (Mana’o Radio) all day, every day…..it’s my therapy. Thank you so much for what you do.

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!

My family is visiting from New York to spend Christmas and New Year’s on the island. Loving your music and station. What a treat to find a wonderful local public station in paradise. Thanks for great tunes and making our stay blissful! Will follow you online when we get home! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Karl Zuk from Katonah, New York near New York City.
