While most of you were paying attention to the annual Sony Open in Hawaii (@SonyOpenHawaii) for the golf this past weekend, I — the non-golfer — checked out one of its fabulous food events … of course. The Pro-Am awards gala was held in the Hawaii Convention Center on Friday night, a much-awaited event that always features a renowned chef’s creations and an up-close-and-personal mini concert by a famous band or musician.
It was pretty crowded, so it wasn’t easy to get photos, but here’s a quick look at what I did:
Here’s Chicago performing their still-popular “If you leave me now” ballad:
Mahalo to Wedge Lee for the invitation!

Delicate Blossom: No wonder Chicago boogied out of the Blaisdell so fast they did that gig at the Sony. Went to the concert and like you enjoy the brass and wind part of the band sound. Unfortunately, the mixer at the concert concentrated on the bass, drums, and synthesizer so the brass and wind were totally blown away. For the most part, they sounded like any rock and roll band ...heavy drums, guitar, bass, and synthesizer. Oh yeah, we had some guys (not gals, guys) behind us only interested in whistling,screaming and yelling not really appreciating the "music". It would have been better to listen to the DVD/CD. Luckily, you had guud fuud and Chicago...at least YOU could hear the brass and wind. Could not comment on this post yesterday due to some glitch...
