SURF’ S UP M ike Love, lead singer of The Beach Boys, is amazed songs performed 50 years ago are popular today.

“A couple years ago, I met a 10-year-old girl at a concert, and I asked her what her favorite song was. She said ‘409,’ which was released in 1962, so 40 years before she was born,” he said. “It’s miraculous

Additionally, their album, “Sounds Of Summer: The Very Best Of The Beach Boys” has achieved triple-Platinum sales status.

Dance

Continued from page 3

Each participant has about five minutes to perform her dance. Twenty points will be docked for performances past the five-minute mark.

Soleil said all but one dancer are from the islands.

Dancers will be judged on technique and ability, musical interpretation, stage presence and overall appeal. Participants may get up to 40 points.

The winner of each category will be awarded a crown, trophy and free entry into Raqs Tiki Workshops next year.

Also, Friday’s Queen of the Island winner will have the opportunity to teach a workshop at Raqs Tiki next year.

Patrons will also have a chance to vote for their favorite competitors. The winner wins the People’s Choice Award Trophy.

Tickets for today’s competition and showcase are $25 at the door, $10 for keiki under 12, and free for keiki under five.

Soleil said you may bring non-perishable items like canned goods in exchange for a raffle ticket. Those donations will go to the North Shore Food Pantry.

When the dancing wraps up, Soleil and belly dance instructors Crystal Ravenwolf and Princess Farhana will host a series of

workshops starting Saturday morning.

The classes are great for people involved in a variety of styles — American tribal belly dance, tribal fusion belly dance or classical Egyptian style.

The first day of workshops starts at 9 a.m. and ends around 3:30 p.m. There are fees for the classes.

“When I teach, it’s about sharing this beautiful gift; I want people to feel the joy I feel,” Soleil said. “Learning a dance language can take time, but I do think dance is a universal language. I feel there’s a story being told through the dance.”

Dancers are encouraged to bring water, note pad and a pen to the workshop.

loha music lovers and readers! Do you have a favorite band? Does it surprise you what choices in music other people have?

Are you convinced that the Beatles were far superior to the Rolling Stones, or vice versa?

Music rivalries have existed for centuries, but especially in the popular culture of the last 50 or so years, choosing the type of music one likes, generally personified as “my favorite band”, has tended to be a defining moment in most everyone’s life.

Ferdinand Dosono said Saturday at The Kauai Community Market, a partnership between the Kauai County Farm Bureau and the Kauai Community College.

Coinciding with the National Farmers Market Week celebration, Dosono was busy grilling khalbi ribs and chicken while his sons vended the line of kim chee and other pickled vegetables.

“We started doing the

khalbi from the Garden Fair,” Dosono said. “And customers always ask, ‘Where’s the rice?’ We have come a long way from when we started with only kim chee.”
