The Reviews Are In: "A Must Listen."
Mahalo for the Hawaiian & Memphis sounds. Got me from Kihei to Waiohuli.

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!

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