All grown up
Hard to believe, but Brittni Paiva is now 18 -- legally an adult. Hilo's resident ukulele and slack key guitar prodigy has just released her third album, "Brittni," on her own Talmidim Productions label. Graphic artist Christopher Cokeing's cover art on the CD is exquisite, featuring a damp-haired and bare-shouldered Paiva in a shimmering pool of water with a corona of white light surrounding her visage.
