Ron Jacobs is undoubtedly the most irrepressible and psychotic genius I’ve had the pleasure of knowing (and yelling at) in my lifetime. A legend in Hawaii and California radio, a free thinker’s thinker, extremely akamai and exasperating all at once. I never know whether to adore him or hang up on him. Adoring usually wins out, even when he makes me so mad I can’t see straight. Cuz he’s just…ya know…Uncle Ronny. Honestly mad, honestly honest. Loyal to a fault, soft as a grape. Li’dat, k?
If you’re yearning for Hawaiian music — I mean real, sincere, honest Hawaiian music — complete with anecdotes, interviews, musings, historical context, etc., tune in to whodaguyhawaii.com. It’s the stuff I grew up on, it’s the stuff I miss hearing day after day. Ron is a radio master who has forgotten more than most of us ever knew about the roots of Hawaiiian music. Good thing he has Flip around!
Speaking of Flip, Ron’s entire cast of cohorts is the apex of Hawaii broadcasting…consummate professionals turning out consummately professional programs. With Ron. That’s no small task, lemme tell you =)
Click here to go right there. It’s worth the trip, man.
Luv ya, Uncle Ronny.
