Ami, Alastar and Miwa came to Maui to visit and perform at the ukulele festival at the MACC center. Alastar plays in the band called Beetlele which is like beetles songs on the ukulele and tours all over the country.
At the festival we entered into a raffle for each of us Edward Maya and Sawyer to win ukulele prizes throughout the festival. Almost at the very end of the festival when we were getting ready to get going, They were announcing the final ukulele give away which was the most expensive one, called a concert edition Kamaka ukulele worth over $1,600 and they called Sawyer’s name! The announcer said that Sawyer jumped 3 feet off the ground when they called his name. He loves playing his cheapo swap meat ukulele that only cost $50. So he totally deserves that prize and has really enjoyed playing it since he won it. He had all the ukulele performers sign it and also the organizer.
The next day we had a lot of fun together going to the beach and then at the end of the day we all crammed in and broke the record for the most people in our two person sauna!
We had a lot of fun and we hope that Ami, Alastar and Miwa can come and visit again soon!
