Feral Oahu Rooster

A  L  O  H  A !

 Proud Feral Rooster!


At two o'clock in the morning, 
if you open your window and listen, 
You will hear the feet of the Wind 
that is going to call the sun. 
And the trees in the Shadow rustle 
and the trees in the moonlight glisten, 
And though it is deep, dark night, 
you feel that the night is done.”  
Rudyard Kipling

A Hush Over the Crowd

A  L  O  H  A !

" Perfection is a trifle dull. 

It is not the least 

of life's ironies 

that this, which 

we all aim at, 

is better not

quite achieved. "

                   Somerset Maugham

“The broad-minded see 

the truth in 

different religions;

 the narrow-minded see 

only the differences”

                       Chinese Proverb

“Spread love 

everywhere you go:

 First of all 

in your own house...

 let no one ever come to you 

without leaving better and happier.

 Be the living expression 

of God's kindness; 

kindness in your face,

 kindness in your eyes, 

kindness in your smile,

 kindness.”

                      Mother Teresa

What are you

spreading around?

I'm making up for

all the disharmony

I spread before:

"Get OUT of MY Way!"

One thing I share

is music.

Never without

my little 

Mountain Ocarina.

Was at the Busiest

Costco in the Chain

(Iwilei, Honolulu)

the other day.

It was a mad house!

The crowd at the check-out

was restless for 

Hawaii people.

Everyone in Hawaii

knows "Hawaii Aloha"

many events, 

including the legislative

session, open with

this song.

So I like to start

with Hawaii Aloha,

then segue into

Aloha `Oe

to respect this place,

the spirits that linger,

and any local person

in earshot.

I began playing.

A hush.

Then soft singing

by some present.

The time flew by

and it was my turn.

Folks let me know

that they liked it.

Once a woman told me:

"You changed the whole

atmosphere in here!"

What a gift

to be able to

do that!

The gift of music.

Then I left.

Everyone's day

was better after that.

Or so I like to believe.

Just let your ego go

and BLOW!

Here's a quick & dirty

recording of me

jazzing up those

venerable songs:
