Don Ho Remembered

Thousands crowded the Queen's Surf beach at Waikiki last night for a six-hour celebration of the life of Don Ho, who passed away on April 14. Click the links in the sidebar for more stories and slide shows.

There was a three-hour concert with virtually every big-name Hawai'i entertainer singing and reminiscing about Ho. Participants included Willie K, the Brothers Cazimero, Melveen Leed, several of Ho's children (including Hoku, a star in her own right), the Society of Seven, Jimmy Borges, and a bunch more I can't remember.

Selected video clips here.

Used to love to go to Trappers and see Jimmy, after a few drinks at the Eagle's Nest with Johnny Saclausa. Good Times!
