Playing 3 shows a night in Waikiki
Yeah, I just played, like tried to build a show, an exciting show of musical talent, you know, one after another. Try to cram an hour’s music time into like forty-five minutes or something.
We used to play like three shows a night, I think, at the Ilikai Hotel and they had a cover charge, $2.50 or something. And that place was lined up! That’s when things were good in the late 60’s. Locals came out to Waikiki, and they had a line all the way down to the street.
