It never gets old to see Hawaii-grown talent succeed on a national or worldwide stage — and when they give a shout-out to the 808, it’s noted.

So kudos to Bruno Mars, for going 6 for 6 at Sunday’s Grammy Awards, including album of the year for “24K Magic.” In accepting that award, he credited earlier musicians for inspiring his album: “So I’m 15 years old and I’m opening up a show in Hawaii called the Magic of Polynesia … My job in that show was to entertain about 1,000 people, 1,000 tourists from all over the world. And I put together a set list like 10 to 12 songs … And later on in life, I found out that those songs that I was singing were written by either Baby Face, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis or Teddy Riley.”

Mars, no doubt, is inspiring droves of teen musicians today to become the hitmakers of tomorrow.

A super blood moon early tomorrow morning

If skies are somewhat clear at 2:51 a.m. Wednesday, Hawaii could have a spectacular view of a super blood moon, with “maximum eclipse” (when the moon is closest to the center of the Earth’s shadow) at 3:29 a.m. When passing through the shadow, it will have a reddish glow. A supermoon occurs when the full moon is near perigee, its closest distance to Earth, making it appear brighter and up to 14 percent larger than a typical full moon.

If the clouds fail to cooperate — or if you snooze through the celestial event — mark your calendar for Jan. 20, 2019. On that day, we’ll see another super blood moon, with the total eclipse starting at 6:41 p.m. and ending at 7:43 p.m.
