Every year on Duke's birthday (or close to it), Dukes Waikiki is host to a "BeachBoy reunion". We were lucky enough to be in Waikiki that day. It was fun for Traci to get to see some old friends that she hasn't seen for many, many years. It's always fun to connect with people that sometimes I don't see very often anymore.
Since this was a Friday and there was music on the lower lanai at Dukes, the band called for the beachboys to come down and sing. For any of you that are familar with this party (or any BB party for that matter), there is usually a lot of singing going on up at the big round table. This time a lot of them actually came down and started singing. I didn't realize that Uncle Billy had such a great voice! There was hula and singing of some old songs that brought back a lot of memories.
Like Willie Grace said to me "this is so special because we just don't know who won't be here next year". That's the truth and I think that's what I found so moving. When the canoe from Aloha Beach Services paddled out to the line up and just sat there, I was wondering if they were thinking about everyone who's out there.
Mahalo guys for another great party... good fun, good times.
