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!

Wanted to send you a great big thank you for always playing WEEN. My absolute favourite. I haven’t heard WEEN on the radio since the 90’s and even then it was some college radio station out of Montreal (I’m writing from Toronto, Ontario, Canada) and was spotty at best… so thank you! Your sets are always the best!

My god, you guys… Flaming Lips? Obscure Yes songs? King Crimson on radio? It’s like you cloned my lifetime playlist.

-Derrick W

Thanks for keeping the Friday nights on the right coast groovy, funky, and fresh. Bang!

Not listening to Mana’o Radio on the Internet or in your car, home, or office, then who the dickens are you listening to?

Listen to deprogrammed music. This is the music the lizard race does not want you to hear.

True to da rootz!

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.

-Eugenia

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.

Recently began listening as I had heard your call letters while tuned to WWOZ’s broadcast of Jazz Fest. Full disclosure, I am a show host at community radio station WOMR.rnWe are in Provincetown, MA At the tip of Cape Cod. I like what I’m hearing!rn

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.
