Looking for ultra luxury in Waikiki? If you can afford $5000-$10,000/nt, this boutique property is one of the finest condo properties in all of Hawaii. I toured it several months ago and it blew me away! Located across the street from beach, smack dab in the middle of Waikiki. Private elevator included!

For a great cause. 🩵

Willie Nelson and Mick Fleetwood are two of the names who have lent their talents and star power to a new song. The musicians came together to help raise money for a worthy cause–and also to create yet another great piece of music, which they’ve been doing for decades now.

Singer-songwriter Lily Meola recruited both Nelson and Fleetwood for her new song “Hope in the Ashes.” The collaborative cut was released on Friday (April 12) everywhere music can be streamed or purchased.

Meola co-wrote the tune in an effort to raise money for her home state of Hawaii. The island of Maui is still picking up the pieces after wildfires burned through countless homes and businesses in the summer of 2023. Over 100 people lost their lives, and the cost of the damage is well into the billions of dollars.

Nelson, Fleetwood, and Meola are joined by other well-known musicians on “Hope in the Ashes,” which turned out to be a very high-profile track. Nelson’s son Lukas, who has a successful music career of his own, is also featured on the tune. Fellow musicians Paula Fuga and ukulele player Jake Shimabukuro are on the track as well.

“Hope in the Ashes” is available now on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Soundcloud, Tidal, Deezer, and qobuz

Vintage 1965: Overlooking the Lahaina harbor in Maui, the "Pioneer Inn" was built in 1901 during the plantation era and old whaling days, with sometimes rowdy sailors as guests.

Our hearts are broken as prayers go out to our Lahaina ohana.
