Ricky proudly celebrated the opening of his new Studio in Kona. Tuddie and Muggs were the main backup crew, staying up late the night before cutting some molokai cow. Clarence Shimaoka brought the tent and blessed the event. Sound system came with DJ Pratt and Cyril P. provided live entertainment. It was some party! Special Mahalos to Sheri 'hula' Adams for taking and sharing pictures. .
