Stephen, My gig in Micronesia ends and I fly to Honolulu on wednesday, September 5. I plan on spending a couple of days in Honolulu, and then I fly to San Francisco, where I will overnight on Friday, September 7. On Saturday, september 8, I fly from SF to Washington, DC. Would you be available for a couple of brews, or glasses of wine, or anything else, on Friday night, September 7th? I arrive in SF at 8:30 PM, and by the time I get to my hotel and check in, I reckon I could meet you between 10:00 and 10:30 PM. I will be staying at the Larkspur Hotel on Union Square (the old Cartwright) at 524 Sutter Street, Telephone No. (415) 421-2865. If you are available that night, please determine a watering hole where you would like to meet and let me know the name and address. I am very familiar with the Union Square area, Chinatown, Columbus Ave. (near City Lights Book Store), North Beach, and the Fisherman's Wharf area. But I will take your lead on what is most convenient for you. Except while on a working gig, I do not carry a personal cell phone or laptop with me. So I'll just meet you whereever you wish. If something comes up and you cannot make it, just leave a message at the hotel front desk (Tel. No. above). Cheers, Bill

yes I'll be around, would love to meet a hear the stories. North Beach on Friday nights can be hectic, but I think we can manage. Stephen, It will be fun to get together. If North Beach is a bit hectic on Friday night, we can meet at a quieter place. Your choice. Just let me know the name and address of the watering hole you choose, either here on the Foro or leave a message on Friday, September 7, at the Larkspur Hotel on Union Square, and I will pick it up at the front desk. Cheers, Bill

quote:
The Micronesians are transplants who sailed there from South East Asia. Not sure about linguistic studies comparing Chinese to the island languages. The Micronesian languages, like Malay and Polynesian, can be traced to the Malay Archipelago (Malaysia and today's Indonesia) which, in turn, have been linguistically traced back to Taiwan. They are related to what used to be called Malayo-Polynesian, but what most linguists today refer to as the Austronesian language family. Regarding any connection to Chinese, certainly not as a language family. Certain words and phrases may have cognates (mehn wai, for example) via the Taiwan connection, but that is only speculation. Cheers, Bill

Stephen, As discussed previously, my gig in Micronesia ends today, and I depart Pohnpei tomorrow, September 5, for Honolulu. A couple of days on my own nickel in Honolulu, and on to San Francisco. I arrive in San Francisco, on Friday, September 7, at 8:30 PM. I should be checked into my hotel around 9:30 PM, and I expect we could meet at a watering hole of your choice between 10:00 and 10:30 PM for a couple of drinks. It would be great to meet and get together. I'm staying at the Larkspur on Union Square, Tel. No. (415) 421-2865. Please call the hotel and leave a message where you want to meet. I'm booked under the name William Barkell. I do not travel with a laptop or a mobile phone, so I will be more or less incommunicado until I check into the hotel. If something comes up and you cannot make it, just leave a message. Otherwise, I look forward to meeting a fellow aficionado (of flamenco, and many other things as well.) and a real luthier! Cheers, Bill
