The owner

I was a reporter for close to 17 years at the Hawaii Tribune-Herald until October 2005, when I joined the growing ranks of union leaders now formerly employed by the newspaper. (For more about what's happening at the Tribune-Herald, check out the Hawaii Newspaper Guild web site.) Since then I've been the Hilo unit representative for the Guild, a freelance writer, photographer, and blogger. Puna has been my family's home since 1993.

A beautiful Sunday morning in Puna

One of the best things about Sunday mornings at the Makuu Farmers Market, aside from seeing so many friends and all the terrific food, is the great live music.

I'd gotten used to hearing the beautiful voice of Penny Madamba who's been a regular feature at the market for so many Sundays, but the last couple of weeks the Waimea Cowboy himself, Ernie Cruz Sr., and several of his talented friends have been livening up the place with Cruz's terrific Hawaii Country music stylings.

I can't think of many better ways to while away a beautiful Sunday morning in Puna. What a treat. Ernie Sr. has spawned a whole family of popular Hawaiian entertainers and has his own Web site where you can sample his music at erniecruzsr.com. Check it out.
