This print was signed by Don Ho, as well as Shag, while Don and his daughter Hoku were appearing in the Key Club on Hollywood’s Sunset Strip as part of Barracuda Magazine’s 5th anniversary party titled “Night of the Tiki” on August 9, 2003. We acquired it from the Copro/Nason Gallery as #46 of 149 signed prints. When I spoke to Shag at Hukilau 2010, he stated that Don Ho was quite fun to be around during this event and really enjoyed his wine…

We saw Don perform in an intimate dinner club setting at the Waikiki Beachcomber in 1998. He was a consummate performer and treated his audience like royalty, spending some time individually with each couple or individual who attended. I’ll never forget his haunting rendition of Kui Lee’s “I’ll Remember You.”
