Don Ho is Dead?

Dang.

This does not "make me feel happy"
Nor does it "make me feel fine"

"Pearly Shells" was a cool tune too.

Thoughts and prayers to the family.

RIP Don Ho.

Be Well.

PS: Irony points for dying during the whole "nappy headed ho" debacle.

Little girl comes back from seeing the Mall Santa (in tears), "Momma, he called me a ho three times!"

Then there's the Jolly (HO! HO! HO!) Green Giant.

OK-Who was Don's ho-and why did he kill her?

Tiny bubbles in the wine make me happy all the time....

God he sucked....

I guess all those years of constantly gettin' leid finally did the old boy in. But what a way to go!

No more singing, 'Kumoniwannalaya"

Yes, Mr. Wave, he sucked. But he lived a life fuller than your jurassic cortex could ever imagine on your most lucid day. He lived his dream. How many of us can say that?

All-
Back in college our frat hosted an annual Kommonawannalaya Luau. Pig roast, grass huts, much drunkeness and plenty of fun explaining to girls how to pronounce the name.

Were you a Fiji, Oohrah? Sounds an awful lot like a Fiji Islander blowout.

Don Tai Loy Ho did pretty well for himself. Of course he sucked as a singer. He wasn't a singer. He was an entertainer. And his shtick held up for forty-some years. At least he could laugh at himself.
