Don Ho and Hawaiian music

[SDCali]

I woke up, got online this moring only to find out that Don Ho died yesterday (Saturday)morning, heart failure, he was 76. He brought Hawaiian music to the mainland and made it popular throughout the USA. Famous for his song Tiny Bubbles/Pearly Shells. He was a performer to the end, his last performance was Thursday night.

On another note, here in Orange County we have a 99 year-old ukelele player who is still performing and hopes to release three more albums by the time he is 104. He also gives uke lessons.

speaking of don ho, rest his soul, he had a daughter that could really sing(i think). anyone in hawaii know what she is doing? she never made it big over in the mainland, but i guess she must have been pretty well known in hawaii

She was pretty big with the tween (10-12 year olds) for a brief while. Most of the obits I have read said that she would occassionaly perform with her dad in his shows on Oahu.
