OnyaBirri, Pat and I saw Don Ho at the Waikiki Beachcomber Hotel on Oahu in August of 1998. It was an intimate dinner club setting with Don Ho sitting at an organ and alternately singing his signature songs, telling stories, cracking jokes and exchanging quips with the audience.

It was a great evening, and, after the show, Don Ho individually engaged every attendee in greeting and thanks, and to make a bit of small talk. He was fun to be with, a charming and consummate entertainer. Most memorable: his haunting rendition of Kui Lee's "I'll Remember You."
