Join us Sep 30 - Oct 2! Joliet Members' Convention '99The 1999 12th annual all Hawaiian steel, play 'til you drop, convention promises to be the biggest and best ever. You could say we're ending the 20th Century with a BLAST! Guest Hawaiian steel artist this year is Herbert Hanawahine, long-time steel player with Auntie Genoa Keawe and her group. Herbert's steel stylings are like no other, and HSGA is happy he said "yes". In addition -- and maybe never again -- Alan Akaka, Bobby Ingano and Isaac Akuna are ALL flying in from Hawai`i for the festivities. Says Bobby "had so much fun last time, have to go back -- they gave me vacation from work just so I could." Tells you something, doesn't it? Warning: get your sleep now, if you're planning to attend convention. These guys do all-night jam sessions after a full day of music sessions. Not to be missed -- and convention regulars are prepared. Our Japan members call this the "no sleep" convention. Just can't get Duke Ching or Gerald Ross or Tom Swatzell or Alan to go to bed until dawn. Convention always winds up with a big Lu`au and entertainment. HSGA members Non-members A Membership Application is available to download here at this site. Tell us if you want to attend convention, and we'll mail you the forms.

We promise you a great Hawaiian-style time.
