With sad regrets I inform you that legendary Hawaiian Singer Don Ho passed away. He was 76 years old. My prayers are with his family and friends. I will be adding a tribute page to Don Ho.
May he rest in Peace
Tells the story of Isaland tradition, of love, joy and peace.
would love to share my time
come to visit you and enjoy
The warmth of your sunshine
and your peaceful nights
To learn to Hula dance
and sing songs of the island
For now I sit and day dream
of all the happy bliss
And for now I'm happy and content
