To the musicians that have come and gone with H3, thank you for your knowledge of music that you have given to us.

I FOUND OUT "H-3" WAS GONNA PLAY LIVE MUSIC AT THE "BLUES CENTRAL" BAR.  I'M GLAD WE ALL WENT TO GO SEE THEM PLAY.  THEY BROUGHT THAT GOOD ISLAND FEELING VIBES THAT I MISS SO MUCH FROM HAWAI'I...  AND TO HEAR THESE GUYS PLAY UP HERE IN ALASKA...  MY HATS OFF TO THEM FOR SHARING & SPREADING THE "ALOHA FEELING" THROUGH THE MUSIC!!!


I COULDN'T FIND A WEBSITE ON "H-3", BUT YOU CAN GO TO www.events.adn.com AND TRY TO LOOK THEM UP UNDER THE LIVE MUSIC/REGGAE.


HOPEFULLY THAT WILL HELP.
