I`ve been in Kauai for the last twelve days.While there I met a guy in a shop in a town called Hanapepe who made furniture out of local Koa.It was spectacular and very pricey.I asked him where he got his wood and he told me,he got it from Jamie Stadig,and he gave me his phone number.I contacted him and went up a huge hill where he and his family lives ,with a fabulous view of the Pacific Ocean and the mountains of Kauai.It turns out that he supplies Todd at Allied and thru Todd to Lmi.I picked up a couple of Uke sets ,in the tradition of the Islands, at a tremendous savings.One set for the grandbaby and one set for me.He also had some very nice guitar sets for a great price.Too bad I was about broke by this time.His website is[url]koaguitarwood.com[/url] Don`t be scared by the prices on his site.He has a huge log he is getting ready to process.I would suggest contacting him at his phone number on his site.He was a super cool guy to meet, and gave me a great deal.This was real special for me to meet Jamie and to get some Koa native to the Island of Kauai.

I just want to mention that the Ukelele is so simple to play ,I think even Hesh can play it.

Don't give me that much credit bro - it took me 35 years to learn to play Smoke On the Water.....
