My dad has been inducted into the Ukulele Hall of Fame in Hawaii.
It's a huge honor to be in that league.
Ukulele Hall of Fame organized
a beautiful afternoon event here in Halifax
to demonstrate my dad's legacy, which was beautiful.
We played some songs.
We had a bit of a surprise.
Some students that had started in the 1970s came and performed
as well as students who are beginners to pay tribute to my dad.
Some of the people that arrived there I haven't seen
for several years. It was very,
very touching and very fun to be in their company again.
do you remember learning that in school well
a board member from that hall of fame says that
Don's influence is in a league of his own
that there isn't probably another single person who
has affected so many other people in terms
of learning the instrument congratulations
