SIN Krew host and comic KAMAKA BROWN shares a "hana hou" session remembering an entertainer extraordinaire who passed in July of 2013. Poncie Ponce touched so many lives and hearts in his many years of entertaining crowds all over the world.
He was cast on Hawaii's first network detective show "Hawaiian Eye" from 1959-1963 as side kick Kazuo Kim, the ukulele playing taxi cab driver. He parlayed his TV exposure to hanging with the Las Vegas "rat pack", a movie with Elvis and using his considerable musical talents in nightclub shows around the world and more.
We capture a classic interview with Poncie shortly before his death on our podcast and hear some of his music.
The Sandwich Islands Network's Dan Lagronio and Melissa Naholopapa are along for the ride this time on another classic edition of the Sandwich Islands Network Podcast.
Enjoy!
