Roslyn![]() |
Living each day here in Seattle I find just how small the world really is as I've accidentally came in contact with several connections to Danny Couch and The Ali'is.. This was one of those times. I have recently run into a gal who used to sing with Danny during his stint with the group GOOD TIME FRIENDS (prior Aliis). Her name is Roslyn. Danny would remember her as the young lady with the Crystal Gayle length hair who used to show up at the club with "Gramma Rose." Ros joined the Nâ Mele `O Hawai`i troupe here in Washington and plays a mean Uke as well as sings. |
MY
husband John and I went To see Danny Couch at the Sheraton 4/25/07, At about 655 PM we came back upstairs to the and got in line, we were second in Line. I had been chatting with a lady who was with her group of Navy wives, when John tapped me on the shoulder and said Honey, you might want to see this, I turned around. and said, O my God, Honey, who is that?? John said, I think it is Danny, Danny Couch was right there !!!!! IN FRONT OF US Greeting the lady in front of us! I did not expect him to be there right at the door to the show room, How many entertainers are greeting you at the door!!
I was almost speechless (For me, that is something new, LOL) and felt
like a school girl l, trembling with excitement on her first date!! Just
that morning at the Aloha Stadium Flea Market, I had been talking to
Patty, (a nice lady who has a Chinese Seed and Fruit booth about Danny
Couch and his music. She handed me her business card and said show
this to Danny and he will give you an extra special autograph.
Well. My turn came, WOW !!!, I hazily remember telling him how much , (
I was in a daze, almost like a out of body experience, LOL)I Love his
music and handed him the card, when he saw it he instantly said, Patty
is such a dear. , Danny gave me such a wonderful Hug and then the three
of us posed for the picture you see above.. Danny Couch is such a
Warm, humble and wonderful person. and Girls!! Let me tell you! OOO La La, Sigh!! Danny is also very handsome and charismatic. He has none of the pretenses or artificialities that many entertainers have today. I remember kinda floating into the show room, then sitting down. Danny came out on stage and just lit up the room with his wonderful charismatic presence by singing " Hawaii, My Paradise" When you actually see Danny Couch perform you will see the total Danny, If you love his music and have not seen him perform, please do so, You will fall even more in love with this warm, wonderful man's music. If you have not heard his music, go to his show, you will be come an instant fan. Danny sang old and new favorites and took the time to interact with the audience on a warm one on one basis, just like we were at his home,in his back yard, When Danny sang his romantic ballads like Kuuipo ( My SweetHeart,) You feel like the song is being sung in your ear, just for you. Danny Couch sings the words and the emotions of any song he performs the emotions of any song They so truly come from his heart. Danny becomes the song he is singing and is one with it and his music becomes one with you, a part of you forever. When Danny sang These Islands I just could help but crying. Danny's show lasted 90 minutes, and seemed to go much to fast. Afterward, Danny took time to talk to all of his guests., we all now felt like his friends. I left feeling elated but a little sad like I had to leave a dear friend that I had traveled a long way to visit I could write pages and pages about Danny's Wonderful Show, but mere words cannot begin to describe how I felt that night, Seeing Danny Couch perform his wonderful music. I would like to invite you all to please check all the wonderful music clips on this wonderful web site that celebrates and honors the most compelling, heart and soul reaching singer of our day, Mr Danny Couch.. Lea C. . Our wonderful Web is so truly blessed with the spirit of Mana with all the creativity and love

This is
my easy going laid back husband John!!/ We went to the Polynesian
Cultural Center on Oahu, HI and on our marvelous journey through that
wonderful park, we cam upon the Tonga Village. The Tonga drum master
called for volunteers from the audience to learn the ancient art of the
Tongenese Drum Master. I of course volunteered John , Hee Hee. The four
volunteers? John from Texas and the others from Japan, Minnesota and
Australia. John came out after the guy from Australia dressed in a grass
skirt!! The drum master then preceded to instruct him in the manly art
of Tonganese drumming. At first John pretended like he did not get the
drift and haltingly pounded a few beats. then, of of a sudden!!!! the
spirit of Aloha filled him, and he ended up out drumming the drum master
and Became TONGA JOHN. who stole the show!! Hours later, other folks who
had witnessed his transformation called out to him,,, HEY TEXAS The
Spirit of Aloha is Alive and Well, Living in all of us |
