Jack Johnson's third annual Kokua Festival is 10 days away. Got the iPod stocked with the latest tunes from the fest's musicians yet? Start today!

Chances are you're familiar with Johnson's "Curious George" soundtrack. Ben Harper's "Both Sides of the Gun" was released last month, as was Willie Nelson's "You Don't Know Me: The Songs of Cindy Walker." Henry Kapono's most recent disc is 2004's "Live: Duke's on Sunday." ALO's "Fly Between Falls" will be out on Tuesday.

Hear tracks from "Lilikoi," the upcoming debut CD from Paula Fuga and the One Love 'Ohana Band, at www.myspace.com/paulafuga.

CAMP VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

If you can roast marshmallows like a fireside Rachael Ray, keep giggling kids afloat in the pool, and croon "Kumbaya" until the zebu come home, the Muscular Dystrophy Association has a gig for you.

The association is looking for volunteers of the "wacky and wonderful" variety for its summer camp, June 18 to 25, at YMCA Camp H.R. Erdman. Volunteers must be at least 16 and physically able to lift and care for campers. Training, airfare (for Neighbor Island volunteers), meals and lodging are provided.

Information: 593-4454 or e-mail jli@mdausa.org. Apply by April 28.

"I'm always nervous about people getting tired of Locke. ... He's a seeker and I want him to remain a seeker. But what we want isn't always what they write."
