To celebrate the date, Watermark Publishing is offering a 40 percent discount on Ho's biography, "Don Ho: My Music, My Life," by Jerry Hopkins, released shortly after his death in April 2007. The final interviews were completed just two short days before he died.

The offer applies only to phone and online orders (regular price in bookstores is $29.95). Visit www.bookshawaii.net or call 534-7168 on Oahu; outside Oahu call the toll-free number (866) 900-2665. Use the code DHBDAY to claim the discount.

The offer is valid through August.
