Jody Cortez   comment about this section on Facebook

Jody Cortez (Class of 78) played Drums on tour with Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young on their 25 anniversary tour culminating in Woodstock II. He got my wife and me tickets and a backstage pass to the show at Cincinnati Riverbend...

I am the brother of Anthony (FAHS 78), and he and Jody were best friends. We met the Cortez’s in Mannheim in 72-75 and when we moved to Frankfurt in 75 they moved to Fulda and Jody ended up as a “Dormie”. His Brother Dean (who I don’t think ever went to Frankfurt) played bass with a group, CALDERA as well as others. Jody was involved with the band in school and I remember being with him in a couple of jam sessions and he could listen to a song on the radio and immediately play the song. He even played as a studio musician for Paramount or Universal pictures. I will get in touch with Jody and see if he will share a few stories with us.
Also his friends back in LA growing up were Jeff and Steve Pocoro and Steve Lukather(sp?), they formed the rock group TOTO, (Toto played for Boz Scaggs before they formed). - Mike Hurtado 5/2/11

from  Download PDF Promo Packet

"Paul Kotapish—Equally confident and inventive on every fretted instrument, Paul has distinguished himself on the stage for over twenty years. Most recently, Paul has made a name for himself with his concerts and recordings with Kevin Burke’s Open House, a headlining act in Celtic and international folk festivals across the country. His blazing guitar and mandolin work also help drive The Hillbillies From Mars, the Quirks, and the tasty trio Euphonia."


Paul Kotapish, ''70 plays mandolin with Wake the Dead; a blue grass version of the Grateful Dead, based in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Gaylord Holomalia 71 -- Kalapana

Gaylord on Facebook

"...and Gaylord Holomalia who is the keyboard wizard who provides the technical know how reflected in all the current Kalapana releases. As a producer/ recording engineer/ musician, he has worked with some of the best, including Cecilio & Kapono, Olomana, Country Comfort, Marvin Gaye and Japan's, RC Succession. He's also received gold and platinum RIAA awards for his work on Crosby, Stills & Nash's "Daylight Again" LP for Atlantic Records."

         


Kalapana on Facebook

 
Back in the day...reposting a couple of pictures I found while at Seawest yesterday.  I worked with Marvin Gaye for a month at Seawest Studios when it was located in Hauula. He and I were watching an NBA playoff game and my team won so he had to pay me $1. He also showed me how he could play "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" on all the black keys, very cool. 
I worked on the CSN "Daylight Again" album for 3 months and was the only "hawaiian guy" on the sessions. They missspelled my name on the album, "Holamalaya" I think. Probably when they were doing credits on the mainland, someone asked about that "hawaiian guy's" last name and that's what they came up with : ) It didn't matter to me though, it was cool just to work with them.

  • BEPKO, FLETCHER & ROSE / BEPKO, SANTOS & ROSE (See Photos HERE) - (Contributed by Bill Lieber) Bill writes: "Ronny Rose, Phil Bepko and Roger Santos still play here and I have the pleasure of sitting in with both bands. Still there is some of the old clan. And, we're still kick'in. Every time I see them play I get all chocked up." ML writes: Be sure to check out the gallery. I have a pic of BFR taken awhile back before Roger joined. Those guys are real vets of the SA scene going back to numerous bands and lineups in the past. They are still great. (Contributed by Steve Denney) SD writes: "They used to play every weekend at Gallagher's Steakhouse off I-10 and Wurzbach. It was a small, fun, pub-type room and they always had a good crowd. I would go by whenever I wasn't working and they always let me sit in. A great bunch of guys; very versatile musically, always professional to a T, and nice people to boot."
