GOOD MORNING.
THE CONCERT IS FRIDAY.
Kristine: THANK YOU FOR
THAT.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.
YOU HAVE BEEN REHEARSING ALL
MORNING.
I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DO IT.
AND THIS EARLY.
FIRST OF ALL, REMIND EVERYBODY
ABOUT YOUR STORY.
YOU HAVE A GREAT STORY ABOUT
FOOTBALL AND NFL FIRST.
YES.
I'M THE YOUNGEST OUT OF NINE.
AND THE ONLY WAY TO GO TO
COLLEGE WAS THROUGH A
SCHOLARSHIP.
SO FOOTBALL WAS MY VEHICLE.
SO I GOT DRAFTED TO THE NFL AND
PLAYED IN THE CLEVELAND BROWNS
AND BALTIMORE RAVENS AND GOT
INJURED AND LEFT THE SPORT.
Kristine: YOU GOT DRAFTED
AND INJURED.
AND LEFT THE SPORT.
AND MOVED TO KNOCK.
ONE DAY I WALKED INTO JUILLIARD.
I GOT IN.
Kristine: AND EVERY SINCE.
EVERY SINCE THEN, I'VE BEEN
TRAVELING AROUND THE WORLD,
SINGING IN DENMARK AND GERMANY
AND ITALY.
AND NOW WE'RE HERE WITH MY
FRIENDS FROM NEW YORK.
AND WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS
BENEFIT CONCERT.
Kristine: TELL US HOW THE
THREE OF YOU CAME HERE AND GOT
INVOLVED WITH THIS.
WELL, THIS ALL BEGAN BECAUSE
BY A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN BY THE NAME
OF ETHEL WHO BROUGHT US HERE.
WE TALKED AND SHE SAID, WOULD
YOU LIKE TO HELP THE CHURCH?
AND I BELIEVE IN LIFE THAT WE
ALWAYS HAVE TO GIVE BACK IN SOME
WAY.
AND THAT IS THE ONLY WAY THAT
JULIE AND I AND MARK GIVE BACK,
IS THROUGH OUR TALENT.
Kristine: FOR ANYONE AS
PIRING TO BE LIKE ONE OF YOU
WHAT DO YOU TELL THEM?
YOU STARTED AFTER FOOTBALL.
CORRECT.
I WANT TO SAY TO PEOPLE THAT IF
YOU HAVE A DREAM, GO AFTER IT.
AND IF ONE DOOR CLOSES THERE ARE
MANY DOORS THAT WOULD OPEN UP.
AND YOU'VE GOT TO KEEP GOING.
AND NOT STOP.
KEEP YOUR DREAM ALIVE.
Kristine: OKAY.
YOU ARE GOING TO PERFORM.
BEFORE YOU DO, WE WANT TO PUT UP
INFORMATION FOR THOSE WHO WANT
TO SEE MORE OF YOU.
SUCH A TREAT.
FRIDAY NIGHT, TOMORROW NIGHT.
IT'S GOING TO BE AT THE AIEA
UNITED METHODIST CHURCH FOR $30.
THERE'S A LUAU SATURDAY AT
5:00 P.M. AT KILOHANA METHODIST
CHURCH.
NOW HE'S TAU PUPUA AND FRIENDS.
