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!

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.

— I have eclectic taste in music, so the eclectic blends spun by the DJ Ohana, even on the specialty programs, is right up my alley.

I am an American guy originally from New Jersey, and these days I live near Vicenza in Italy. I’m a few years older than you, but not by much. I first got turned on to this station during my third visit to Hawaii last June. Typically, since I am 12 hours ahead of you, I listen during the mornings when I am at my work studio (I am a photographer by trade), or, working in my garden under the blazing Italian sun. I finally caught your show, which was the recorded version. It was the birthday show … By the way, happy birthday. This featured music from 1976. Listen man …. it was the best three hours of music I think I’ve ever heard strung together, and, I was a DJ myself for while. Just outstanding. I’m going to be listening to your show every time its on going forward. May be someday I’ll make it back to Maui, but in the meantime, long live your fantastic station and cheers from Italy.

Unless you want to listen to ten minutes of local high intensity amateur hour radio ads and the same watered down ‘reggae’ songs over and over, THIS is the station you’ve been looking for. Their DJs get to pick their own choice in music and do it for the love of it rather than any money. 91.7fm. Yes.

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!

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
We love your programming and especially love The Church of Burch! We wanted to say thank you for all the kindness.
