Cecilio & Kapono live on KGMB’s Sunrise news show, August 21.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

One of Hawaii’s most popular and enduring recording artists, Cecilio & Kapono<\/span> gave a short, open public concert performance at the KGMB TV studios parking lot on August 21. Morning news anchors invited the public to come and watch the live broadcast. Since I live near the KGMB TV studio on Kapiolani Boulevard, I walked over to the parking lot and found the group there, mostly waiting around for tape to roll.<\/p>\n

If you know anything about TV, most of the time working on a production is spent waiting. I was there at around 6:45 am and the station did not shoot the live segment until the 7:30 am hour. In the meantime I and a very small group of people waited around and talked to each other and the two performers.<\/p>\n

Not surprisingly for me, we ended up talking about computers among other things. Found out that both C & K are avid Macintosh computer users. We talked about the Garage Band software, computer security, identity theft and risks of using a standard Windows PC online. Cecilio is an avid golfer and he talked about using a GPS based golf course hardware device. Cool.<\/p>\n

They jammed for a few minutes warming up and once they started playing Cecilio & Kapono treated us to about 4 or 5 songs. They included well known classics such as “Goodtimes Together,” “Highway in the Sun” and “Friends”. I think they also sang a song I had not heard before called “Back in the Day” which I heard again on their website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After the broadcast I found that several of the KGMB News morning people are fans as they ended up posing for pictures with the legendary duo.<\/p>\n

Cecilio & Kapono<\/span> are coming out with a new album on September 1.<\/p>\n
