Tribute to Don Ho 1930 - 2007

He was a great entertainer, I'm glad we didn't pass up our chance to see him on our trip to Hawaii April 2005. Listen through the end, he says that he hates singing Tiny Bubbles.

My wife and I met Don in 1997 at his show. He was a great and caring man. We were honored to meet him .Aloha Don, we miss you.

I just returned from Waikiki on Tuesday. I sure missed Mr. Ho. I cannot believe that during the three shows that we went to, no one said anything about this great man. He is the one that started everything for everyone in Hawaii.

He is the reason so many people found out about Hawaii. I sure missed him. I went out on a Catamaran and through a lei into the ocean.. I saw the old showroom, now Jimmy Buffet's. Taimane was entertaining there. She did mention his name.

Yes, all I have accomplished and all that I am is to impress the likes of you.

Again, you seem to miss the point, the most intelligent, well educated, successful, well read individuals I know can enjoy an off color joke.

The dimwitted, the dull, the barely average like to take the so called 'high road' and call it 'maturity' or 'tact'. Maybe you will get the point this time or on second thought, you most likely will not.

There you go! Finally a comment worthy of you. I knew you were above a "Ho" joke. I am almost impressed.

STILL has nothing to do with me possessing a sense of humor though. It is simply exercising tact. Maybe you'll get that part this round?

I have more than a little education.  Along with my education both formal and informal I learned that the most important thing in life is a sense of humor.

You obviously haven't learned that lesson yet.

As for the argument you posed and claim that you have maturity; many people who are out of touch, are old (in regards to a mental attitude, not choronological age) or dimwitted claim that it is a symptom of maturity because accepting the alternative is too difficult.

Again, nothing to do with lacking a sense of humor, your comments are just in poor taste and show your lack of manners. I'm not offended, I guess I just expected more from someone that obviously has a little education going for them. I am sure I would have found it extremely funny if I were in junior high. You can't really fault me for maturing past that level.

Jesus on a stick lady.

Get a sense of humor.

Oh wait, does 'Jesus on a stick' offend you also?

[latenitemommy]

There's a difference between being funny and being disrespectful, that's all. I have a sense of humor, I guess mine is just more refined than yours.

Come on, making fun of a dead guy's last name and then feverishly defending your position that you are funny? It is unnecessary. I am sure you have more tact than that. Obviously you recognize his talents, so there's no need to insult him with juvenile humor. That's all I'm saying.

[johninves]

Are you battling a stick situation also.

Relax, Don Ho was a good man who gave man people pleasure with his songs and entertained them, he is dead, he couldn't care less what you, I or anyone has to say.

Grow a sense of humor, would you.

[latenitemommy]

That's tacky.
