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.

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!

Dare to say your host Derek seems to be a most passionate music lover. I love love the variety and the random tracks selected. Today is the first time I’ve tuned in to the show “Mindful Mix.” And I’m spreading the word! So keep ’em spinning y’all!
