His Notes: Aldrine, Matt, John and I doing a completely unrehearsed performance of John Denver’s “Annie’s Song”. We were all attending the Winter NAMM Show in California last week.
It looks like fun (and it was), but we were all there working.
I am playing my Ohana TK-75CG, John was playing his Mya-Moe, Matt was playing his Moore Bettah and Aldrine was playing his Kanile’a.

Lyrics:
i wish i was a lightnin bug shining like a star
the woman that i love would come catch me in a jar
a jar full of whiskey to make me feel so fine
i would fly down to the bottom
i would shine, shine, shine
shine, shine shine
if i was a lightnin’ bug laughing through the trees
dancing like a diamond on a warm summer breeze
i’d fly up to her window where i know she could see
she’d think i was a falling star
she’d make a wish on me, make a wish on me
last night i caught a lightnin’ bug
held it in my hands
held it for a moment, set it free again
that woman has my heart, she’ll have it ’til i die
i set her free because i love her,
i love to watch her fly, i love to watch her fly
i wish i was a lightnin bug shining like a star
the woman that i love would come catch me in a jar
a jar full of whiskey to make me feel so fine
i would fly down to the bottom
i would shine, shine, shine
German cowboy trucker song from the 80′s, gotta love l’uke….
