Description
This week: for the first of two winter rebroadcasts, we're dusting off our New Year's Eve extravaganza from December 2011, recorded at the Neil S. Blaisdell Center Concert Hall in Honolulu, Hawaii. Jake Shimabukuro sings "Bring Your Adz," slack key guitar masters Jeff Peterson and Danny Carvalho play a couple traditional Hawaiian tunes, and our friend Ledward Kaapana leads everyone on "Hi'ilawe." Plus: Heather Masse asks "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?"; Erica Rhodes joins our Royal Academy of Radio Actors; and in Lake Wobegon, the Tolleruds and the Hansens fight over a good deed after a freezer malfunction.
