One of the musicians featured on DCTV in recent years was Uncle Richard Ho'opi'i's, who passed away earlier this month. With the assistance of KDRT Programmer Beth Post (Na Mele O Hawai'i,) we were able to record him as well as renowned slack key guitarists George Kahumoku Jr. and Led Kaapana in a very special performance in the DCTV studio. Both Uncle Richard and Led Kaapana are recipients of the National Endowment for the Arts Heritage Fellowship, and it was an honor for us to be able to record these musical and cultural legends.
