Hello Everyone,
Jim Kimo West was my guest for Live Your Music this week!
I greatly enjoyed talking with Jim Kimo West about his new album Slackers in Paradise which is just being released today (Wednesday, October 5th, 2016). During the show, you'll get to hear the title track from the album!
When I think of the words Aloha and Mahalo, Jim Kimo West comes to mind. He is a wonderful example of the spirit of both words. Aloha is how Hawaiians say hello and is a warm greeting you hear over and over when you are on Maui or any of the Hawaiian islands. Mahalo is how they say Thank You.
Jim is fun as you can see in the album cover art that is the "photo" for today's show. I am feeling thankful for the fun I had hosting my show with Jim Kimo West today!

Best known as long-time guitarist for the world’s most successful musical comedy artist, Weird Al Yankovic, Kimo is regarded as one of the world’s foremost ki ho’alu or Hawaiian slack key guitar artists. This warm and engaging acoustic guitar style has it’s roots in 1840’s Hawaii.
Kimo is a 2008 winner of the Hawaii Music Awards and two time Na Hoku Hanohano (the Hawaiian ‘Grammy’) nominee. He is also a two-time winner of the LA Treasures Award for his efforts in keeping this important acoustic guitar tradition alive. He is a veteran of Hawaii’s famed slack key festivals as well as the So Cal Slack Key Festival.
Kimo has also worked as a composer for film and TV for many years and maintains a sophisticated private studio in Los Angeles. His slack key compositions have been used in a number of features, TV spots, cable, web and in many documentaries.

During the show today, we talked about why we love Hawaiian music and how it can help relax you while you are driving. It can also bring you back to how it feels to be on Maui or your favorite Hawaiian island. One of the things I love to do is to incorporate things that I love from my vacations into my regular life. Doing this helps bring back not only the happy memories, it also helps you enjoy your time anywhere you live.
I feel thankful to have met Jim Kimo West while we were on Maui in 2012. I am so thankful a friend took us to hear him perform in Napili. We talked about the Napili show today. Listening to CDs by Jim Kimo West brings me back to the feelings of joy from our family celebration time on Maui.
I'd love for you to listen to what Jim Kimo West had to say on the show today. I am also looking forward to hearing from you after you listen to the song from his new album. As you can see above, there are 16 songs on the new CD and I am excited to get it, listen to it and hear Hawaii at home and in my car!
