Moon Kauakahi and Jerome Koko, accompanied by manager Sharlene Oshiro, 

wedge themselves into the room already occupied by a half dozen computer monitors, microphones, 

Ron "RJ" Jacobs and a few friends and neighbors, including Lisa Salcedo, whom RJ introduces 

as the first professional woman football player in Hawaii.

Even without Jerome's brother John, the effect of hearing the Makaha Sons' 

soft, precise harmonies in a small space is overwhelming. 

The mood goes nostalgic. The group recalls hanging out with Jacobs in the '70s,

 when both Israel and Skippy Kamakawiwoole were still alive, including a memorable date 

in which they played for seven straight hours at Jacobs' daughter's baby luau.

"You had to come the day before to make sure the chairs would hold up under Skippy and Israel," recalls Jacobs.

They launch into singing "Kaimana Hila," just as they did 30 years before. 

Jacobs sings along on the chorus and throws in a few cymbal crashes.

"We don't do this kind of radio station thing any more," says Moon. "Not since the '70s."

Jerome's vocabulary flashes back to the '70s: "This whole thing, it was really a trip."
