15. I Danced with Ho!

In 1964 I was in Hawaii with a group of travel agents from the Pacific Northwest, there to learn the "business." Of course we went to see Don Ho's show.

It was his habit to pick a man and woman from the audience and have them dance together on stage. I was the unfortunate female, but I think I had had a few icky sweet drinks with paper umbrellas in them to not feel the pain too much.

17. Hawaii just lost its icon.

You won't be forgotten, Don Ho.

19. Don Ho has just gone on

to that Big Luau in the Sky! And, he is the featured entertainer with exotic hula dancers and Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. The feast is poi, kalua pig, poke, lomi salmon, opihi, Monoa lettuce, Sweet Maui Onion, purple sweet potatoes, and cerveza! :toast:

20. There was a time when they couldn't shoot a television show in Hawaii

without Don Ho making an appearance. I never got to see him but we did hear a singer at a luau in Honolulu who kept telling us what a good friend he was of Don Ho. :)

RIP, Mr. Ho.

27. I was in the Hawaiian BBQ place two nights ago when "Tiny Bubbles "

came on the loop tape. Miserable storm outside, the place was busy as hell, lots of slightly cranky people after a hard day's work.

When it came on, everyone seemed to just take a collective breath and the air got just a bit lighter. Who knew at the time that Mr. Ho was crooning his last bars?

Mahalo and RIP, Don.
