Morita, 58, headed to his regular spot locals call Kewalos, known for reliable waves over shallow reef near the mouth of a harbor not far from downtown Honolulu on the island of Oahu’s south shore. “The water was crystal clear,” he said, noting how it was already bright at 6:15 a.m.He was lying on his stomach on his board after riding a few waves when he felt a bite on his right leg.“The sheer strength of it, I knew right away it was a shark,” he said Wednesday from his hospital bed. “In that critical moment, I went to God.” He prayed for the shark to free his leg as the pressure intensified and the creature thrashed about. “I kind of surprised myself that I went straight into prayer,” he recalled.

Review: A showcase for William Prince’s noble baritone

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:48:32 GMT

“Stand in the Joy,” William Prince (Six Shooter Records)Singer-songwriter William Prince played a couple of songs at a recent solo set in Nashville, Tennessee. Looking out at an admiring audience, he allowed himself a slight smile.“I’m not going to lie,” he said. “This is going about as well as I hoped.”Career momentum is building for Prince, a Canadian fluent in Americana. He has gone from performing in Manitoba coffee shops to making his debut in February at the Grand Ole Opry. Now comes a fine new album, “Stand in the Joy,” which showcases his noble baritone and balladry.Built like a logger, Prince has a disarmingly warm, gentle delivery so commanding he need not raise his voice and rarely does. He and ace producer Dave Cobb keep tempos modest and accompaniment uncluttered, with acoustic guitar the instrumental anchor.Prince, raised on a Peguis First Nation reservation, draws on his roots for material.
