I built Don Ho’s first website.
Raise your hand if you remember Don Ho. I’m too young to remember his music or to have been a fan. But I do remember he was a famous singer From Hawaii and he was (probably) best known for his hit “Tiny Bubbles”. Mr . Ho had a long career, starting in the 1960s and going almost to His death in 2007.
So he wasn’t Elvis or Paul McCartney but he was a world famous celebrity and I met him…sort of. Okay I didn’t actually meet him. But I did design his first website.
This was in the early to mid 90s when websites were still about as rare as the MN Vikings making a Super Bowl appearance. Mr. Ho’s brother contacted my boss who knew him somehow. Apparently everyone else was busy that day so I got the project. I certainly was not chosen for my design skills.
I spoke with Don Ho’s brother about what he wanted. About a week later the new website was published for the world to see. I never heard if the singer liked the website or if he even knew it existed.
But that’s my Don Ho story and I’m sticking with it!
