    He still does his own stuff, and has been successful
    in bringing Hawaiian music to the forefront with his
    Dancing Cat subsidiary.

    In my recent thrifting adventures, I have seen quite a
    few Windham Hill albums as of late. I had always
    assumed most of the music was lightweight, but that's
    me being ignorant. Are there any artists on Windham
    Hill that I should be on the lookout for?

    I saw Level 42 in 1987, opening for Madonna. My
    sister was (still is) a huge Madonna fan, so we all
    went to the Seattle Kingdome. We were up on the top,
    and it was hard to see anything. (Fortunately, I
    would see Pink Floyd at the Kingdome a few months
    later, and the sound was in beautiful quadraphonic).
