Oh no Don Ho!!!!
 

Sadly, Don Ho has passed away at age 76 due to heart condition.

Tiny bubbles (tiny bubbles)
In the wine (in the wine)
Make me happy (make me happy)
Make me feel fine (make me feel fine)


Tiny bubbles (tiny bubbles)
Make me warm all over
With a feeling that I'm gonna
Love you till the end of time


So here's to the golden moon
And here's to the silver sea
And mostly here's a toast
To you and me


So here's to the ginger lei
I give to you today
And here's a kiss
That will not fade away

Listen he

I saw him years ago. Not my favorite thing, but it was memorable.

Watch what you say, Crantz. Don't you know you can get fired for saying
"Ho?"

His musical style never held much interest for me, but I was 'forced' to see
his show with my in-laws in order to appease them for doing a bike run down
Haleakala with us.

That particular evening, Don Ho was bored, seemed a bit down, and gave a
terrible performance. He appeared to show little interest in what he was
doing, wanting only to get the show over with. Toward the end of the set he
had not performed "Tiny Bubbles" for the enthusiastic crowd, and when they
chanted the name of that tune, he said in a rather annoyed tone: "Okay,
okay, c'mon let's do it, hurry up." The crowd still seemed enthusiastic,
but Ho continued to be annoyed and rushed through the song in a pointedly
uninspired manner. He then left the stage and his band had to do the rest
of the set without him. The following day we heard that Don Ho had been ill
the previous night, but a local told me that he used that excuse about three
nights out of five, particularly when in a bad mood, which was most of the
time.

My memory of Don Ho was of a spoiled, offensive jerk ripping off an
excellent audience he didn't deserve.

Don Ho is a relative of mine and your characterization does not fit him. He
may have acted like that at times because he suffered from acute Crohn's
Syndrome. When not in pain or suffering its debillitating effects, he was a
kind man and made certain his audience got everything and more. I am sorry
he wasn't up to your level of snuff for his performance but if you knew what
he went through just to get up on the stage you would have a bit more
sympathy for the man. His suffering is over, the world is at a loss and may
he rest in peace.

He had one--count it--one opportunity to impress me, and he most certainly
did. If he were in the physical distress you claim, he should have taken
the night off. Instead he chose to perform poorly and with disdain for his
audience. I doubt if 'disappointment' could come close to describing the
way virtually everyone felt that night after the show. Crohn's Disease or
not, he was contemptuous of those of us in the crowd.

I saw Israel Kamakawiwo'ole (not sure about spelling) on three occasions,
and despite his severe obesity, which must have made him terribly
uncomfortable, he put on a stellar performance each time. He was charming,
funny, and gave the audience more than they expected. And his voice was
that of angels. He is missed.
