Asian-American Special - Don Ho Tribute (58:59 or 59:59)

Public Radio WorldWide - PRWW.org , 60:00

***** Amusing, Humorous, Sentimental

WOW! Best Public Radio Program I've Ever Heard!

I love a variety of music from classical to Duke Ellington and I never really heard too much of Don Ho's music before. Your program helped me to see that he's not only Hawaii's Elvis as some call him but Hawaii's Frank Sinatra and Harry Connick, Jr., too, and he was very personable.

I tend to like it when a program gives good insight, such as this program did in an intimate way, into the background and personality of a person in the public spotlight. As a tribute to the life of a man with whom I believe many Americans identify as a legend of this great country, this program is tops! I only wish it could have been longer!

I would like to hear it on the air on New Year's Day or sooner. And, I now plan to become a member of public radio. Your program made me a believer. I love the classical. I love the jazz.

Asian-American Special - Don Ho Tribute (58:59 or 59:59)

Asian-American special features Don Ho in Hawaii in his last face-to-face Public Radio interview with singing, songs and music tunes from the beach in Hawaii before he died in April 2007. This program recorded live from Waikiki reflects the carefree, happy-go-lucky lifestyle of its guest and provides samplings of the Asian-Hawaiian musical contribution that Don Ho gave to America and its unique American music hip & hop styles. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This program promotes membership of a new audience of public radio listeners. This is a full, NO-Hole format. Audio content revised 30-April-2008. A News-Hole version is available at: http://www.prx.org/pieces/22401. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CD Available at http://www.PRWW.org/CDHO.html
