I remember 10 years or so  \t\t\t\tback when the child prodigy that everyone called &#8220;the slack key  \t\t\t\tkid&#8221; first started appearing in public with the Hawaiian guitar  \t\t\t\tmasters that schooled him.  He&#8217;s come a long way!<\/p>\n<p>Pictures and CDs don&#8217;t convey his energy, personality, or  \t\t\t\tcuteness (what? I can&#8217;t LOOK?!).  Wearing a fragrant maile lei,  \t\t\t\tappropriate for governors, graduates and kings, Makana led his  \t\t\t\ttrio of co-conspirators through a spirited set of mostly  \t\t\t\ttraditional Hawaiian songs that delighted the early crowd of &#8220;ohana,&#8221;  \t\t\t\t(&#8220;family&#8221;) as he called them.  Visitors who had just wandered in  \t\t\t\tfor a drink couldn&#8217;t believe their luck.  Makana&#8217;s earnest  \t\t\t\tHawaiian lyrics, and his gifted playing, mastered the energy of  \t\t\t\this young band at the height of it&#8217;s powers.  Even for this  \t\t\t\tearly spot, they held nothing back.  Their exuberant precision  \t\t\t\tmatched that of the surfers just beyond the open windows.<\/p>\n<p>You  \t\t\t\tsee, Rum Fire is at the very sea&#8217;s edge.  Churning rascal surf  \t\t\t\tpounds the floor beneath your chair, felt even through the bass  \t\t\t\tguitars and drums.  White spray crescendos almost too close in  \t\t\t\tperfect time with the music.  Even nature grooved along,  \t\t\t\tMakana&#8217;s virtuosity a virtue indeed. He had us all eating out of  \t\t\t\this calabash, even before he spent his &#8220;break&#8221; talking with his  \t\t\t\tguests.<\/p>\n<p>His  \t\t\t\tcherubic curls, and natural, easy nobility put even new comers  \t\t\t\tat ease as he shook hands with all the men, hugged and  \t\t\t\tcheek-kissed all the women.  &#8220;This must be very bright &amp; early  \t\t\t\tfor you musicians to be working.&#8221;  I said.  &#8220;The sun and I made  \t\t\t\tan agreement a long time ago.&#8221;  Makana smiled at me.  After that  \t\t\t\tI was happy just to linger in pleasure purgatory, half watching  \t\t\t\tprostrate surfers paddle out, giving themselves to the sea &#8211; for  \t\t\t\ta little while.<\/p>\n<p>Those returning to the famous shore seemed different, changed.   \t\t\t\tStuff had been left out on the water, perhaps something without  \t\t\t\tprice had been acquired, and life&#8217;s books all perfectly balanced  \t\t\t\tin this salty, golden moment.  As the palms waved languid  \t\t\t\tgoodbyes to another long, perfect day, the sea clouds above  \t\t\t\tturned to cream-by-candlelight.  Ice crystal angels high in the  \t\t\t\tdeepening sky spread wings of benediction as I recall an old  \t\t\t\tphrase still repeated here in Waikiki: &#8220;Lucky you come Hawaii.&#8221;   \t\t\t\tMakana played late and STILL got &#8220;hana hou&#8221; (do it again!&#8221; &#8220;One  \t\t\t\tmore time!&#8221;).  Happily the band complied.  Beyond the terrace  \t\t\t\trunners in malo (loincloth) lit the torches.  .  .  A trio of  \t\t\t\tsea birds flew by.  .  .  Time to go.  .  .
