Dear Producers

Generation of Lost Stories: Hello, I’m Doris Anne Beaulieu. The lagging economy has made going to the movies one of the best entertainment sources that many families can afford. The box office numbers clearly show us that it fits the consumer’s needs and desires for entertainment despite the tight economy. That tight economy, however, has shown another side to that coin that the movie industry needs to look at and hopefully respond to so that we don’t end up with a generation of lost stories.

The early days...

Hi there, i used to live in Waikiki way back in 91-93, overstaying my welcome on a travelling trip around the world. Working at 'Seaside Hostel' and doing various jobs for VIP car rentals, painting and decorating and running a hostel on the north shore. Everywhere i went Radio Free Hawaii was my soundtrack. And what a soundtrack it was. I loved the democracy of it and it showed that what the record companies via the Corporate radio stations forced down our ears was not what we wanted to listen… Continue

(UPDATED: Tuesday February 3, 2009) After close to twenty weeks of putting together a three hour program of songs that were voted into Radio Free Hawaii between May 1991 and the Spring/Summer of 1997, I think I am ready to expand the playlist a bit more. Sprinkling of Oldies, Jazz Standards, Classic Rock and try to fit in Classic Hawaiian aka Renaissance era artists. I say me being ready because while hardcore fans of the station remember it one way...I remember the phone calls when playing… Continue
