Mahalo

ubass-nov2013As the seasons fly by, they are studded with the little gems that are holidays. This month we celebrate Thanksgiving here in the US. This is a solemn time dedicated to eating too much, watching football and being grateful for the many things that are going right in our lives.

That said, we are just returning from a fantastic vacation in Maui and we are grateful for the wonderful Aloha spirit shown to us while we visited. Let me take a moment to explain with this Quote from Wikipedia “In Hawai?i someone can be said to have or show aloha in the way they treat others; whether family, friend, neighbor or stranger.”. Well, we were treated so well that we wanted to stay there. If we took away one idea, it is that when you are thankful, it is easy to treat others in a warm, welcoming fashion and pass that spirit forward. Doesn’t that sound like universally sound approach to life?

So, after a truly excellent time in Maui, we want to say “Mahalo” (Thank you in Hawaiian) to all of our amazing staff, our diligent readers, all the talented musicians and authors that have submitted their work for potential review and the great bass musicians that have taken time out of their busy schedules to give us interviews. We are specially grateful to all our VIP members who support this magazine and allow us to deliver it free of charge to you. Please patronize them all as much as you can!

This month, Steve Gregory has a great interview with Tim Lefebvre who is joining the Tedeshi Trucks Band this fall. Find out the whole story in this interview!

ubass-nov2013-2Don’t stop reading after the Interview as there are lots of great bass content coming you way from our dedicated staff!

Lastly, we want to thank Hawaii Ukulele & Gift Corporation in Lahaina for letting us borrow the U-Basses by Kala for the photos you see here. If you are in Lahaina, stop by 790 Front Street and check them out! They have the most varied selection of U-Basses that I have ever seen in one location other than NAMM.

Have a great November and once again, Mahalo!

Best…
