Just another reason to love living in the Bay Area. Where else outside of the islands can you learn Hawaiian Slack Key guitar? I had a lesson on Saturday in Sunnyvale with Patrick Landeza and learned more in 2 hours than I have in the last 2 years. What a great teacher -- If you ever have an inkling to try it out, he's your man!
He taught us how to play a tune called "Kahuku" that got me thinking about Kahuku shrimp. Mmmmm...shrimp on the North Shore of Oahu. My favorite is Macky's which is closer to Turtle Bay than Giovanni's or Romy's. Less famous, but their coconut shrimp is pretty incredible. I'll have to do a full write-up the next time I'm over -- Maybe Spring?
