We enjoyed some great entertainment this week at Boston Basil’s in Kailua-Kona when we went to listen to the jazz-stylings of Betsy Curtis. She was a famous singer in the late sixties, part of Betsy and Chris—think Marcia and Jan Brady singing folk songs in Japan—who were so popular they made lunchboxes and stockings with their brand!
She covered a wide variety of songs at Boston Basils—mostly jazz standards, plus a little Aretha Franklin to get the audience and crowds of people on the sidewalk of Alii Drive excited! Keep your eyes open, we think she may be making a comeback in Japan sometime soon…
Oh, and we enjoyed our orders of lasagna and cheese ravioli, although another one of the other guests at our table, thought her spaghetti was a little over-cooked. The atmosphere of the live music was fantastic, the open air lounge upstairs had a great view of the water, and overall our visit there made life a little bit more fun. Cheers!
