Review of Year End Show - A Tribute to the Life & Music of Don Ho (Full Version, NO-Hole)

Aloha! And Fare Well Don Ho!

I'm sad to learn of the loss of our unofficial Ambassador of Hawaii. This program presented his a mini auto-biography that makes me feel that I now know Don Ho personally.

The host did an exceptional job of interfacing with the guest and asked just the questions I wanted to hear answered.

What could have been done better here? Maybe you could have made it two hours instead of one.

When to air it? The sooner the better!
