Don Ho, right, gets a kiss from a fan after his nightly show at the Waikiki Beachcomer Hotel in this June 24, 2004, file photo in Honolulu. Ho, 75, known for his signature tune 'Tiny Bubbles,' is recovering at a hospital in Thailand, Tuesday, Dec. 6, 2005, after undergoing an experimental stem cell procedure on his ailing heart. The treatment, which has not been approved in the United States, involves multiplying stem cells taken from his blood and injecting them into his heart in hopes of strengthening the organ, according to agent Ed Brown, a close Ho friend.

I wish him well, but when you're resorting to experimental medicine, it's because the mainstream doctors have told you that there's nothing more they can do.

How many times has this dude sung "Tiny Bubbles" anyway...? How'd you like to live your life with only one song that anybody wants to hear you sing?
Prayers up.

The article seemed fairly definitive.

You obviously don't know much about Don Ho. Tiny Bubbles may be one hit, but the man is a fantastic entertainer. He can pack 'em in during his shows.

1986 - Halikoha (sp?) Hotel - the military one (House of the Warrior) - wife and I saw his act. Great. Considering how many times he had done that routine, he was really nice to the "tourists". Shaking hands, signing anything, taking pictures, talking, etc. - he took all the time the audience wanted.
BTW, I saw way too many tiny bubbles that night.

Well... you're right... I don't know much about Don Ho.
I'm perfectly happy to believe that he's a great entertainer.

BUMP
More stories like this (that disclose the source of the cells) could stem the tide of the pro-abort arguments....

Sure he can. he's a good guy. I hope something comes of this treatment, but with all last-ditch attempts, it's probably too late to do any good. Prayers just the same. Go Don.

We're in very early days with stem cell therapies. Hopefully some good will come to Don Ho and others undergoing these first attempts, and the scientists are bound to learn from them.

What do you mean??? I LOVE that song, and I LOVE hearing HIM singing it. I'm serious! I love Don Ho. I always thought he had a great voice.

Tiny stem cells-in my blood!
