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’m a fan. As a former participant in the industry I know how much it costs to keep the transmitters on.

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.

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.

Nuff love from Cincinnati for the mix this morning.

It’s hard to find good radio these days and I wasn’t expecting much more than the usual island fare, but then the dial skudded to a stop at 91.7 and that’s where it stayed for the next three days. Sorry it took so long to find you, but I want to tell you to just keep on doing the magic. I’m over 50 and your station brought back a lot of good memories about stations that meant something to me during my formative years, but even more it meant so much to connect with people who love music, even if I never personally met you all. P.S. those two women djs are gold.

Great listen while working today. I’ve been spreading the good word on Mana’o Radio to all my friends and family here on the mainland, i.e. Seattle and beyond. It’s wonderful to stay connected to Maui and my ohana there.

Hey, Pistol Pete! You’re sounding great! Love your music selections as well. If you have time, how about some Led Zeppelin before I head off to bed! Thanks…and I’ll be staying tuned!
