  This morning I was sitting with a small group of friends at my favorite coffee shop and they asked me what was on the program for the day. I asked them what they would like to hear, and the result is today's program on Classical Pacific. 

I will be away from mike next week, and Judy Anderson will be taking the reins for those five days. Mahalo, Judy.
