PLAYING FROM THE HEART Kapaa musical duo plays many styles with the goal of connecting humanity JESSICA ELSE TGIFR!DAY

C

arrie and Michael Fox combine native flutes and drums with keys and guitar for a multi-faceted sound that sometimes evolves with their audience.

“What we love most is playing heart-centered music,” Carrie said. “We have our own original songs, and we usually have a basic melody but we like to see where the music takes us.”

The duo combines Michael’s knowledge of native music with Carrie’s talents in jazz and blues, as well as her master’s degree in music therapy to create a relaxing and inspiring atmosphere that fosters connection with others.

“It’s about connecting to the music and with each other,” Michael said.

Both Carrie and Michael are versed in voice, guitar and ukulele, and percussion.

Michael said he plays the harmonica and the piano by ear, and Carrie has been playing piano since she was five years old.

Michael also has a background in drama and performing arts.

Carrie teaches music at Hanalei Elementary School and the pair also directs music at the Center for Spiritual Living in Kapaa, where they

usually play on Sunday mornings.

Carrie and Michael and also play at weddings, birthdays, yoga retreats, and have made appearances at International Peace Day. Though their passion is to play music with a more spiritual and meditative emphasis, the duo also has written children’s songs.

“We tailor our music to the audience, so if they want us to cover something, we’ll do that,” Michael said, “but we really love playing our own songs.”

They’re about to start work on their first album, but Carrie and Michael said that’s only a small piece of their vision.

Their dream is to combine music and the fundamental teachings of Ashtanga yoga on mindfulness to create a music therapy program for Kauai’s youth.

BAMBOO GRILL & SUSHI “Local Food at Its Best”

Breakfast is served from 7 a.m.-2 p.m., lunch is from 10:30 a.m.-2 p.m., and dinner is from 5:30-9:30 p.m.

They offer free Wi-Fi, and they can also cater any occasion.

Bamboo Sushi and Grill, formerly Richie’s Restaurant 2978, is located in the Anchor Cove Shopping Center next to ABC Store.

Dining can be done inside, or on one of the patio dining tables which has a view of the Kalapaki Bay.

Carrie said she combines some of the strategies of music therapy in her elementary music classes.

The next opportunity to join Carrie and Michael’s musical experience is on March

28, when they’ll be holding a Sound Spirit Infusion event at the Center for Spiritual Living.

At the event, Carrie and Michael will be using Tibetan sound bowls, flutes, piano, and voice to create a med-

itative environment for the audience.

The cost is $15 for CSL Kauai Members, and $20 for the public. Call the Center for Spiritual Living at 755-9177 for more information.

The Dolphin serves up sushi rolls made with local fish

hose wary of trying sushi for the first time just need to dive in, said Andrew Rayne, head sushi chef at The Dolphin.

“You only live once, so go ahead and try it,” he said.

First-time sushi eaters should go for ahi because it isn’t fishy, he added.

Another good choice for cautious eaters is The Dolphin’s stolen roll, which is slightly cooked and made with tempura-battered salmon, and jalapeno, white on-

Nestled on the corner of The Shops at Kukuiula, the Poipu location has been serving up sushi and seafood for about three years. It also boasts a market, which sells fish, steaks and other items for people to take home and grill on their own.

Entrees include Teriyaki Ahi, served with rice and

drawn butter, and sushi rolls like The Next Best Thing, made with tempura battered shrimp, avocado, white onion, asparagus and spicy mayo and topped with the chef’s choice of fish.

“Anything that can be caught locally, we use,” Rayne said.

Kay Liss, The Dolphin man-

ager, said the fish is delivered to their back door — literally.

“The fisherman come to us in the morning, and we serve it the next day,” she said.

On any given day, the restaurant is split between locals and tourists.

“We have a gentleman who comes in every night

for dinner, and we have other people who come in three times a week,” she said.

Rayne added: “We have visitors who remember us from previous trips, and come back.”

The Dolphin has 48 employees, including high school students.

The ohana atmosphere also applies to the clientele.

“Once you walk through these doors, your family,” she said.

Rayne, a 16-year veteran in the sushi business, enjoys being a sushi chef because it gives him freedom to be creative.

“I get to play around with different arrangements; it keeps me from the mundane,” he said.

His favorite fish to work with are the kona kampachi and the local snappers.

“I’m able to pair them with different spices and rolls,” he

said.

Those fish are unique to the sushi bar, Rayne added.

“I’ve worked at a lot of other sushi bars, but I never got the chance to work with those fish before,” he said.

A Delaware native, Rayne has always loved seafood — even though the fish on Hawaii are different from what he knows back east.

“I went through a learning curve,” he said.

The Next Best Thing is one of the most popular sushi rolls at The Dolphin.

As part of his education, Rayne went through a seven-year apprenticeship on Kauai with Sensei Victor Heresa, a sushi chef who owns

Sushi Bushido in Kapaa.

The Dolphin also has a location in Hanalei.

“It’s all about the quality of food, service and presenta-

tion,” Liss said. “And it’s not just fish we’re experts in.

From steak fillets to sushi, we have something for everyone.”

M #39 — “Stir up waters to catch fish” Perhaps you might recognize these “laws” being used by some of the current presidential candidates?

It is important to keep in mind that using the “laws” as defined in this book does not guarantee happiness, or even satisfaction; it is not even the intent of the lessons. Rather, this book makes us aware of what power is, how it is used, and how we can use it, if we desire.
