Don is one of the all-time greats. He was a neighbor of ours. He lived in Lanikai which is next to Kailua on Oahu. I grew up listening to his records, and Marian and I finally got to see his show in Waikiki last year. I hope he comes through this okay, but I'm afraid we're about to lose another legend.

Amazing how some old timers cling on to life. When I saw his performance in LA a couple of years ago, he seemed sooo burned out, having performed non stop for 50 years.

Well I wish him another 50, hold on Don!

Let us put our thoughts and energies into positive wishes for Don Ho. Let's all agree that Don Ho is whole, perfect and complete, and that his heart and all organs and cells of his body are working together for his health and well being. Blessings to All! Rev. Tiki

My girlfrend and I bought tickets to the show the last time that we were in Oahu. Unfortunately, Don decided to take a plane to southern California that night. I still haven't seen him play yet. So lame.

Please hang on there Don. Get well soon.

Well that was a quick answer, thanks Don!:

Yahoo quote:

"Tell my fans to stay healthy," he said. "I'm ready to go another 50 years."

I've got to say a big ALOHA to Mr. Ho. He and his people gave me a green light to Tiki Farm to take his image to market. Now, I've held back as I didn't want to interfere with his affairs and I am just now lauching some designs as they are in his honor. He is truly Hawaii's Legendary Entertainer!! God bless & rock on Don Ho!
