An Evening with the Hyannis Sound

Church in Falmouth MA
Photo-A-Day #4135

Tonight my mom took us to see the Hyannis Sound. This is an a capella group that has been touring the Cape since 1984. Each year their are new members. The group was performing at a small church off Main Street in Falmouth. We got there a little early and waited in line fore about 15 minutes. It was a nice mild night and so perfect if you want to wait in a line. We got in and took our seats. The group performed really well and both Andrew and Eva enjoyed the performance. Eva enjoyed it very much. I liked it, they were talented and funny.

On the way down to the Cape I stopped and picked up some Somerset Creamery ice cream. I got Cranberry Bog to take to Allison. That is her favorite. I got myself Peanut Butter Oreo in a waffle cone. I am a sucker for Waffle cones, I love them. I used to make them when I worked at the Dairy Tower at the Casino. While enjoying my cone I watched my friend Justin’s latest vlog. Justing broke his vlogging camera a ways back and when I heard I asked if he’d like my old NX300 camera from my Imagelogger days. He said sure so I sent it off to him. He made a nice video on his first time out with the came which you can check out here – STRANGER THINGS IN WEIRS BEACH NH! OUR VISIT TO SOULFEST 2016 AND FUNSPOT! And here is today’s vlog.

New Olympics TV Spot for Disney’s MOANA

MOANA

Viewers of the 2016 Rio Olympics were treated to a new TV spot for the upcoming Disney animated movie, MOANA. This movie looks like it is going to be an incredible adventure film to inspire young viewer, especially girls. The film stars Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as Maui, once-mighty demigod. It also stars newcomer Auli’i Cravalho as the title character of MOANA, pronounced MO-AH-NAH. I kept getting the pronunciation wrong but after visiting the Hokulea back on July 4th I did get a few tips on pronouncing Hawaiian names. I am now sure but there seems to be a tie in between the Hokulea and Moana in such that Moana is on a sailing quest to be a master wayfinder.

The thing with the Hokulea is that the sailing crew does not use modern instruments but rather the traditional and almost lost skills of sailing the open ocean and using the wind, birds, waves and stars to guide them. It looks to me that MOANA is set in a time when there were no modern instruments and she will have to navigate using those skills as well. I don’t know for sure if there is any tie between the two entities but that would make a fantastic connection between the real world and the mission of the Hokulea and this upcoming incredible story.
