August 13 would have been Don Ho's 82nd birthday. To celebrate his life and legacy, Watermark Publishing is giving away 10 copies of his autobiography, "Don Ho: My Music, My Life."
In the spring of 2007, legendary Hawaiian entertainer Don Ho sat down with veteran music biographer Jerry Hopkins for a series of interviews meant to complete his memoirs…a project he’d put off doing for years. These interviews turned out to be the final ones of his life.
This unique autobiography chronicling Donald Tai Loy Ho’s life is a “modern Hawaiian quilt” of memories. The ambassador of aloha, Ho embodied the laid-back tropical lifestyle worldwide through his recordings and appearances both on television and in concert, and along the way became Hawai‘i’s best known and most beloved personality of all time.
"The inclusion of people who refused to participate in efforts by other authors makes this book a milestone, and a must-buy for anyone interested in Ho or his impact on modern Hawaiian entertainment." -- John Berger, Honolulu Star-Bulletin
"You'll chuckle over the Don Ho bubble machine and that bottle of bubbly that paid homage to his hit song. You'll recognize his failing health. And you'll relive the watery farewell, when hundreds bid him adieu. You'll remember Ho in a way that he probably would approve." -- Wayne Harada, Honolulu Advertiser
