A two-show holdover is anticipated for June 19 and 20.

TRADE WINDS: Harry B. Soria Jr.'s "Territorial Airwaves" is approaching a milestone — three decades of broadcasting vintage pre-statehood Island music. The show — Hawai'i's longest continuously running radio broadcast — was launched June 13, 1979, on KCCN AM, with the Honolulu Skylark co-hosting for seven years.

Soria, from a three-generation broadcast family, went solo in 1999 when the program moved to Hawaiian 105 KINE FM, with a move in 2006 to AM 940 and a syndicated status, with webcasts at www.hawaiian105.com and www.am950hawaii.com. The radio version can be heard from 5 to 6 p.m. Sundays and from noon to 1 p.m. Fridays. ...

"Keola Beamer & Friends: Bridging Worlds Through Music" had two airings on PBS Hawaii recently — a hearty brew and stew for the ears. Guitarist-singer Beamer collared two pals — R. Carlos Nakai, a Navajo-Ute American Indian flutist, and Geoffrey Keezer, a jazz pianist. The show was all about collaboration and synthesis — homogenizing the artistry of three genres and reshaping cherished Island music. Hope it makes it to national PBS programming — the thoughtful blending of three singular sensations results in cultural diversity at its best. ...
