I also worked with Glen and Joe on the Indy and lived near their cabin below the "Purple Palace". Great guys and great authentic Hawaiian music.  R.I.P. Glen

I worked with Glen and Joe in the Indy. I wa there the night Uncle Glen fell in the canoe and kept playing. He would allways play "White Sport Coat" for me. Hearing him sing really takes me back.

Actually I started on Aikane then a while later went to Ale Ale Kai. I knew Teddy Fabella when he played with Steven and Moses Akana, Mike Souza and Tuila Greig.

don't know who those people were. but in 71 i think jenson lipton, his brother bobby and teddy fabella may have worked there. its hard to remember cause some worked on ale ale kai before aikane bought bought them out. i still go to some of the Aikane reunions when they have them. nice to meet up with an Aikane employee =)

I danced on Aikane Catamarans from '70-'71. Loved his slack key guitar playing. He palyed with Kahoonei Panoke and another guitar player. Don't remember the other player's real name, nickname Chu-Chu.
