        He is one of my favorite memories from my first trip to HI!

        I loved him! For our senior HS grad trip, it was HI. About 25 or so of us went (HS grad class of maybe 3-400). I went with this guy and we had a great time. We were 18 and they had just changed the drinking age to 21----so we were grandfathered in! (Yes-we were all from CA, and with a drinking age of 21, we were pretty much blasted all the time!)

        Anyway, after a great performance, th audience singing "Tiny Bubbles" at the end, we went to see him. He autographed our picture (taken when we were there) and he was VERY, VERY NICE and patient with everyone. I remember him touching my shirt and my hand and saying "I really like your shirt." He had the softest hands I have ever touched. He must have used bottles and bottles of hand lotion.

        I'm sorry I only saw home once...he was a great performer and very nice to his audience.

          I saw him 2 years ago and I will say that he was forgetting the words. We still enjoyed the show and we enjoyed it even more when his Daughter HaKo (sp) showed up out of no where.

            When I was a kid on my first trip to Miami, my parents saw him at a nightclub. Mom bought the LP Tiny Bubbles. I just downloaded the song to reminisce.

              I thought Don Ho was what Imus got fired for. I'm so confused.

                It's the end of a legend, for sure.

                    Great guy and great performer. Saw him many moons ago in Oahu when I was a kid.

                    Aloha and Mahalo Don Ho.
