The music's been mastered and went to the vinyl manufacturer last week, logo design is done, but there are still a few things left to take care of.

Aloha Got Social: Now on Facebook on Twitter
Like what I do here? My mission is to share 1970s and 1980s Hawaiian funk/soul/jazz music with the world, but sometimes I don't have more than a moment to post something worthwhile. That's why Aloha Got Soul is on Twitter and Facebook. These social platforms let me share my thoughts with fans of Aloha Got Soul, whether I'm at the record store digging for Hawaiian LPs or kickin' it with fellow music lovers @lightsleepers. While you wait for the next blog post, interview, music video or album discovery... Connect with Aloha Got Soul here and here. Mahalo!
