Behind the Scenes Before Dalai Lama Appears at Stan Sheriff Center

By /
Arriving at the Stan Sheriff Center, I almost bumped into singer Amy Hanaialii in a corridor, who is on her way to perform. 

On the stage singing and playing guitar is Willie K., her ex-boyfriend.

Leslie Wilcox of PBS Hawaii is handling emcee duties for the Dalai Lama talk for the public this afternoon.
