there is a really famous hawaiian song called “Only Good Times” sang by Keola and Kapono Beamer. it was used at the ending of the movie “Big Wednesday” and every single person growing up in hawaii has heard this song more than once. the lyrics and music is just so amazing. it’s about good friends who surfed together in the old days, went their separate ways, and still have that bond no matter what.
Bobby sent me this photo he found the other day. it is a photo taken back in 1996 of Mike Woo, Bobby Higa, and Me. i totally remember this day hiking up koko head ridge with these guys. in those days, we use to just surf, eat, explore, and hangout. now, Mike’s lives in Bali, Bobby lives down my street but I hardly see him, and we all have our own busy schedules. so as i stare at this classic photo, the lyrics of “Only Good Times” came into my mind as i started singing it with a smile. these were the good times!
listen to this song, listen carefully to the words. put yourself back 20 years when there were no internet, no cell phones, or no facebook. remember surfing and hanging out with your good friends. i call this “Only Good Times.”
