The new uke store in Haleiwa

bluesuke · Mar 16, 2013

Terry and I stopped by The Uke store in Haleiwa this afternoon what a fantastic store. We had a chance to meet and talk with Aaron. He is very knowledgeable and one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. If your ever on Oahu put the store on your list of one of your must see's.

Hey Perry do you mean The Ukulele Site(aka HMS) ?

AndrewKuker · Mar 16, 2013

Thanks so much Perry! I was just talking to Aaron about this and getting super excited to show your beautiful ukes in the future. We are fans and honored to have you come by. Hope this begins a long and fun relationship with Covered Bridge and the excellent instruments you make. Enjoy you stay in HI. Aloha!
Btw, I think it's time you guys went full time on the uke building

The benefits of being uke royalty, Perry. You guys make incredible instruments, so you are part of the "in" crowd.

If it was me and my wife, we would have been staring at a locked door. Lol

Stan, where is Swim Bar that Taimane plays at? I know Waikiki fairly well, but don't know that bar. Thanks.

Aloha Steve,
The "Swim Bar" is the newest bar in the Hyatt Waikiki Hotel right across waikiki beach...it's on the the second or third floor where Ciao mein used to be....

Don't forget the Hawaiian plate lunch.

tattwo · Mar 17, 2013

The poke and calamari were amazing.

AndrewKuker · Mar 17, 2013

Taimane is about to go on at Honolulu night market. Free show. Awesome food. All the food wagons. Like the fried spam musubi. Who knew, it just needed to be a little less healthy. But tons of options and music. Kakaako , not far, taimane is on is in maybe half hour

You're tearing my heart out, A.

Maybe Taimane would do one of those depth of field HMS vids for a couple songs. She's going to be on Hi*sessions youtube channel soon, the story goes.

You really turned me on to her music when you posted about her latest CD a few months ago.

Incredible to read about these places guys; feels like I'm there. A Hawaiian vacation is pretty much an utopia, but when we win big time in the lottery (one day Gadget! One day!), that's where we'll be burning it! Loved the pics on Facebook as well guys.
