"Hi" from HI, happy weekend!
A double header, things on my mind....
Here's an image not on my website, guessing it was in my Google+ Collection.
This is Pāpōhaku Beach, Moloka'i, 3 miles of white sand, few signs of people.
Pairing that with my latest 'ear-worm' in the making, getting it out before it gets stuck.
(I woke up this morning to "Canary in a Coal Mine" - could not get it out of go back to sleep!)
Now into my head popped this song, and along with it, this image.
Walk On 👣

Resharing a very favorite song... an instrumental by... Hot Tuna
(Posted where originally? Why, Google+ !)
Someone just commented an my YT comment (of 9 years ago!), so, I'm reminded...
Perfect song for many, in summer....
Water Song
Beautiful display of Jorma's guitar wizardry, Jack's other-worldly bass, and as someone just commented, "Sammy on the skins".
The call of many concert-goers for many years: "Hot Tuna!"
Photo is mine, of Papohaku beach, on the tiny island of Moloka'i. My remaining (non-G+) collection of images & videos @ http://www.fenichel.com/molokai

New from Josienne Clarke 🎶
The Tangled Tree
“Searching for a tune
That I haven’t sung before
One that’s lesser used and lesser sad
But somehow maybe more " - Josienne Clarke,‘Super Recogniser', Jan 2023’

Making / Keeping Moloka'i - Prequel: Tribute to Buzzy Sproat
Something new from my world of.... why not?
From a #conversation about the expression "bull in a China Shop", common expression in the U.S.
In Europe there is a similar idiom - great name for a band - an "elephant in a porcelain shop".
Quite an interesting difference, as captured in the cartoon versions. #Nuance More below. Going down...
I intended on talking about #talking , #storytalk, #communication #TalkingStory, #discussing #travel #hereandnow
"Flight Plan"
Here was someone I was truly privileged to have known - and video'd! Shared pretzels and fruit @ #COH. :(
A legendary Hawaiian paniolo who heroically brought comfort to the 'leper colony'-> patients on the isolated Kalaupapa Peninsula on Moloka'i. #BuzzySproat #legend #paniolo #muleskinner #hawaii #molokai #RIP
Oh, and he could talk story! Starting with his life.
RIP. Aloha to the aunties & uncles & nieces and nephews.
Sorry about the audio - it won't get louder than the laughter of people or grass-hunting of the mules. Buzzy was funny! 🎧 Earphones &/or full speakers will help to "be there".
This is #Buzzy telling us how we need the mules to choose us and the how to ride down a sheer sea cliff. Not to worry, the mules were fed but they're going to go for the grass. Get to know your mule. By name. Hold on. Trust your mule. Be respectful. Okay! Let's go!
I made a video on Moloka'i with local music and my photos and vids. Info on that is also in the YouTube description.
But here [is the legendary cowboy/muleskinner guide on the #Kalaupapa trails down the sea cliff down to the colony which he personally helped for many years with his mule-back runs down a 26 switchback trail of sheer sea cliff. [ Photography ]
Meanwhile, yes, idioms. Like people, 'diverse'.
People everywhere have some metaphor in non-human nature to explain fellow humans trapped &/or out of control.
The American version of the cartoon is 'children only' (true! on Fox Family TV) - what we all are brought up seeing in cartoons and using as a metaphor for... the raging bull, so oddly finding itself itself thrashing about China. heh #reality
The French version portrays a more civilized #society with an endearing elephant. Agile really: But amid porcelain, maintenant...
Comme un Elephant dans un magasin de Porcelaine
I suppose metaphors, like cultures an fables, idioms and buzz phrases, run deep in the human DNA. Happy Weekend.
What a long strange trip it's been... and that's just today._
Memorial Day, USA
Moments. ago I realized, while being busy doing other things ("life"), there was some music playing in the background which was really engaging, more and more consciously. What is this?!. So it's a fascinating place and video, but just the music alone is very nice in the background. IMHO. Worked for me. It might for you. But check out the video for an eye-popping aerial tour of Moloka'i!
Breezy RLU-1: Kalaupapa, Moloka`i (GoPro 2 POV)
Sounded to me a bit like Mark Knopfler, Dire Straits, but very mellow for several minutes. Metheny? Garcia? What the hey?
So I checked it out and - definitely have not seen/heard this before! A favorite location I've rarely seen in a vid - other than my own of course - and that's got a long stretch of great local/authentic Moloka'i music too. Keeping Moloka'i Moloka'i
He's right, it's surreal and it must be seen in person. He flew from Oahu to "the peninsula", former leper colony, and back.
I spent time "topside" on Molokai, and not owning an RLU-1, I had to do it the old fashioned way: muleback down the sea cliff.
#Molokai is a special place, where they want, as my video is titled, to "Keep Moloka'i Moloka'i".

Nothing cheerier than a 'leper colony' I guess...
Armchair Travel Dept
I just found a video I made of 'mule-skinner' Buzzy Sproat, prepping the riders (us) on how to choose, handle, and ride a mule down a 1600' sea cliff. (Spoiler: I survived, surprising even me).
But this here isn't about that mule ride down the sea cliffs. 🙂 This is better, a virtual guided tour of the colony, It's a powerful place.
A Tour of the Kilaupapa Colony / State Park
But I was here, took a bunch of photos but not vids.
This is a tour of the Kilaupapa Peninsula at the bottom of the cliffs.

A re-visit (virtually) to the Panaewa Rainforest Zoo and Garden, near Hilo, Big Island (Hawai'i)
I am eager to return... and to many places I'm remembering via my photos and web pages, including this, from a Google+ collection. (Sigh)
