Maui
03.06.05
Entry 2

After our return from our trip to the North Shore, Bruce drops me off at the
condo. After a little cleaning up, I walk down the street to the package store
for a sixer. After a cool beer and a blog post Bruce and Jill return with some
poke (raw marinated tuna with wasabi...mmmmmm). Then we head down to the beach for
a little pre-sunset swim.

beach 1 | beach 2 | beach3 | beach 4


There we run into a friend of Bruce's originally from Maine, and jazz vocalist, Ellen Rivers. Waves were pretty good for a little body surfing...there's quite an undertow! We get out and watch a few whales spouting in the distance off Molokini, and anticipate the sunset. At the last second as the sun shows it's last sliver before disappearing we see a bright green dot just to the right! Cool!

Back to the condo for pasta with pesto, a fresh green salad with feta and kalamata
olives, and lightly grilled peppered Ahi (tuna), and a little white wine.

Ellen and Jill go home, and Bruce and I continue to a small restaurant to see
a little jazz with guitarist Phil Benoit (David Benoit's brother). His wife is
a vocalist, and he is accompanied by a great stand-up player, Bill Harrison.
We only get to hear the last half-hour or so of their last set. They play "Goodbye
Pork-Pie Hat" "All of Me" "Don't Know Why" by Norah Jones, and a few other classics, as well as a Hawaiian tune. I talk to Phil a minute about his maroon 1975 Gibson
ES-335 with the TP-6 finetuner tailpiece and new tiny Roland amp with 2 - 6 inch speakers.

We drive down the road to look for some more music. We stop at a plaza that has 5-6 bars, and go in and out of a few, finally settling on a little rock and roll dive,
...kinda like a Rollie's...and hear a rock trio (guitar, bass, and drums). The
guitarist is playing a tobacco sunburst strat with ebony fingerboard (single-single-double) through a beautiful older Marshall half-stack. He played
really well...started with "Little Wing" (drummer didn't sing it half as well as you PT) and went through some other rock classics. They weren't too loud, amazingly enough! And the waitress (pardon me girls) was a cute slender blonde with low cut
jeans, and a tank top with ample flat midriff showing...rrrrrrrr!

Some locals then sat in on acoustic guitar and bass and sang some more authentic stuff, and one girl got up and did a Hawaiian luau-type dance. Her arm movements
were beautiful! Very nice, and unexpected.

That was almost enough for one day, so we came back to the condo, where I finished
the evening out on the Lanai with a Kona Fire Rock Pale Ale, and a Don Diego La Romana corona cigar (that I'd brought). Bruce then left for Jill's and I to bed!
