Whenever I perform, it means a lot to me to be able to connect with others through music. 💜 Music is such a strong passion of mine, and I hope to have a positive impact on those who hear me perform. 💚

Positively impacting others using music is something that Don Ho did very well.

In Caitlyn Meagher’s article “The Musician with Aloha Spirit,”  Meagher writes, “His fans saw him as a true example of the ‘Aloha Spirit.’ This ‘Aloha Spirit’ is the idea that the mind and heart of a person are connected to everyone else around them. People with ‘Aloha Spirit share kindness, warmth, and friendship without expecting anything in return…He made everyone in his audience feel special.”

For an artist to have the ability to make everyone listening to them feel special is absolutely remarkable! 💛

In Don Ho’s live performance of “Tiny Bubbles,” you can see Don Ho demonstrating “Aloha Spirit.”

Lyrics:

Tiny bubbles (tiny bubbles)
In the wine (in the wine)
Make me happy (make me happy)
Make me feel fine (make me feel fine)

Tiny bubbles (tiny bubbles)
Make me warm all over
With a feeling that I’m gonna
Love you till the end of time

Now here’s to the golden moon
And here’s to the silver sea
And mostly here’s a toast
To you and me

Tiny bubbles (tiny bubbles)
In the wine (in the wine)
Make me happy (make me happy)
Make me feel fine (make me feel fine)

Tiny bubbles (tiny bubbles)
Make me warm all over
With a feeling that I’m gonna
Love you till the end of time

Tiny bubbles
In the wine
Make me happy
Make me feel fine
Tiny bubbles (tiny bubbles)

Make me warm all over
With a feeling that I’m gonna
Love you till the end of time

With a feeling that I’m gonna
Love you till the end of time

Till the end of time

Look at all the joy in the audience! 🧡Everyone feels that they are invited to be a part of his performance.

Don Ho created a welcoming environment for his listeners and clearly had a positive impact on them. You can feel Don Ho’s warmth as he performs this song. This performance brings me great joy and peace! 💜

The idea of being benevolent “without expecting anything in return” is extremely powerful.

Can you imagine what our world would be like if people modeled Don Ho’s ability to exemplify the “Aloha Spirit”?

Wishing you well! 💙
