Here you can watch our video, read about Bill and more about the project. I really appreciate everyone who has jumped on board so far. The response has been so amazing! Thanks for your interest and support. Much Aloha, Alyssa P.S. Friends and fans around the world have asked how Bill is doing these days. Well, he's now only 102 years old and we are doing our best to keep up with him. In May he was a headliner at the New York Uke Festival, last weekend Bill left for Hawai'i for a well-earned two month vacation. But Bill being Bill, there is sure to be some performing. I spoke to him before he left: his spirits are high and he's rarin' to go. | | • PUA 'ILIMA LEVEL $5 includes: Bill Tapia sticker (based on the CD artwork) donate now � | | • PLUMERIA 'PRE-ORDER' LEVEL $25 includes all of the above plus: The CD itself, complete with artwork and colorful booklet. donate now � | | • WHITE KUKUI BLOSSOM LEVEL $35 includes all of the above plus: A color facsimile of the original 1939 edition book titled "Hawaiian Ukulele Instruction" with the Island's foremost ukulele instructor, William Tapia (see picture to right and above). donate now � | | • GARDENIA LEVEL $50 includes all of the above plus: An original ticket from Bill Tapia's 100th birthday concert + A thank you in the CD liner notes. donate now � | | • RED GINGER LEVEL $100 includes all of the above plus: An original poster from Bill's 100th birthday concert (the first 50 signed by Bill himself) + Gift pack of four Bill Tapia buttons (limited edition, 1" in diameter, each different). donate now � | | • ORCHID LEVEL $150 includes all of the above plus: A Bill Tapia T-shirt, specially designed by renowned artist Robert Armstrong (who's also creating the artwork for the CD). donate now � | | • RED PUA LEHUA LEVEL $225 includes all of the above plus: A charming 17" sterling silver Rosabell necklace designed by Alyssa. donate now � | | • LOKELANI LEVEL $700 includes above premiums plus: An invitation for you and a guest to a private luau, hosted at Bill Tapia's house by Bill and producer Alyssa Archambault.
