Auntie Maria has sold the mele.com Hawaiian music retail site and it will move from its current Kaua'i address to Mau'i.
In her own words:
"MELE.COM has been sold -- I'm leaving retailing, but will still be active in the island music industry as a voting member of the Hawai`i Academy of Recording Arts, and with my two radio shows....The website will close on April 15 as the transfer of ownership is made to my friend, Fred Krauss on Maui. He will reopen the site as quickly as possible -- so you can continue to depend on
MELE.COM as your one-stop shop for island music!"
