What goes with Hawaiian steel guitar? Or with Don Ho (definitely not my kind of music, but may he RIP).

And as for your recommendation, Calbrs, I just put that on the shopping list. How would a dash of dark rum go with that? Thanks to you both!

Those beers are harder to find out here on the islands, but there are some decent island brews...find I, too, am drinking less wine lately and more beer (wine and HI just don't seem to go together very well, but still need a good bottle with that special meal). Will definitely pick up some Hangar One.

Now that I live in the middle of the frikkin Pacific Ocean, beer is definitely the beverage of choice!

Been listening to some older jazz recordings of Hank Mobely. Fantastic. Goes great with Balvenie Double Wood single malt which Costco here has for $37!

I was listening to some Christine Tobin the other day, which inspired me to make a beeline to the Lagavulin 16 yr old. Something about jazz and Scotch...
cpdunn99 OP Details Discussions Posts This discussion Message User 639 posts 01-01-2016 at 03:30pm Copy Comment URL Report Comment Edit Delete I was listening to some Bill Charlap (jazz pianist) yesterday afternoon. Went really nicely with Port. Dylan, later in evening, with an IPA.
