I AM PROUD TO BE A TONGAN! SIONE ALEKI R.I.P. AND I HAPPENED ONCE TO WATCH U PERFORM IN TONGA! JUST AMAZING AND YOU ARE THE KING! THE KING OF UKULELE! 'OFA ATU
So cool. I bought a cassette tape of this guy when I was in New Zealand in 1986, and it has mesmerized me since. Now I finally get to see him in action.
Hey i'm new to this whole youtube world can someone fill me in since i,ve been longlost about ohhh.. let's see too long . I know one thing this man might have forgoten bout me but I Will not ever forget where i came from and make sure my son watches his grandpa weekly! regardless I will always love my dad. Ilove you .e
My fiance and I watched him play another interesting instrument when we stayed with him in Sydney with my parents. We watched him play the Saw with a violin bow, we video'd it too I will upload and convert the video when I get the chance. Lol
That's great news that he can see. I read something about him playing the saw but I haven't seen him since about 1984( not sure of the year) when he stayed with us in Utah. He found my sisters old violin and took it for himself( Tongan style). I'm planning a trip to Tonga in Dec. and if he's there I'll stop by and say hello. If you talk to him again, tell him we spoke. My mothers name is Saane. He'll know.
Small world, but that there is my Uncle on my mums side of the family. And no he is not completely blind, hes partially blind. Hes still living in Nuka'alofa as usual :) Malo Uncle
If this is your uncle then we might be related. Did you got to our reunion last year? I wanted to go but I couldn't get my other uncle Nio to buy me a ticket.lol
Yes this is my uncle. He is Sione Aleki Johansson son of my grandfather Alexander Johansson. I was in Sydney with him for 6 days just gone he flew back to Tonga on Monday just gone. My mum and the family donated money for his eye operation and the good news now is that he can finally see! He is no longer blind!
My name is Lina Anatasi (Aleki)Osorno I am one of four kids born to Mele. the eldest is Tapina , then me thenmy sis. then there's johnny (Sione Jr.) if your for real then we got a cousin back in san diego who told me about the sydney reunoin back in 2005. my husband told me about you so if your real pls write or comment back .
Hey :) oh wow small world! Well my mother is Mina Tolisi Finau, obviously married to my father & yep she is one of Alekis siblings along with Afa, Ana, Loretta, Manu, Feleti, Lokani, Enesi...I am living in Christchurch in Nz on my own now so I'm one of the Johansson offspring in the South Island, haha. I missed out on the reunion of 05' but I plan to go to the next its been a while since I have seen the family and I miss them heaps! Hows things in the U.S?
