Hawai'ian musician and vocalist Dennis Pavao

DENNIS PAVAO / 1951-2002
By John Berger
jbe...@starbulletin.com
Dennis Pavao, a talented musician and one of Hawaii's foremost
falsetto vocalists, died yesterday at Maui Memorial Medical Center,
where he was being treated after collapsing during a performance last
week. He was 50.
"A fun-loving guy with a beautiful voice. Always laughing, (telling)
crazy jokes," record producer Lea Uehara said of Pavao.
According to a friend of the family, Pavao had experienced several
dizzy spells earlier in the week and was suffering from a severe
headache. An MRI revealed the presence of a brain aneurysm. After
surgery, Pavao's prognosis looked good, but by Monday afternoon his
doctors prohibited visitors.
Shane Kahalehau, KPOA-FM's "Hawaiian Home Boy," described Pavao as "a
treasure" and expects that, like Israel "Iz" Kamakawiwo'ole before
him, Pavao will posthumously become a Hawaiian music icon.
"In today's island music there's not too many like him," Kahalehau
said. "When Iz passed away, a lot of the younger generation started
turning to his music. Now it's Dennis. It's sad that they have to
leave before the younger generation starts noticing the importance of
what they did for the island music."
Pavao had been a major figure in modern Hawaiian music for more than a
quarter-century. He first gained fame when he and his twin cousins,
Ledward and Nedward Kaapana, founded Hui Ohana in the early 1970s. The
trio recorded a string of successful albums including "Young Hawaii
Plays Old Hawaii," "Hana Hou" and "From Kalapana to Waikiki" before
breaking up to pursue individual projects.
Pavao and Led Kaapana were Hoku Award winners as solo artists by the
time Tom Moffatt brokered a Hui Ohana reunion in 1987. The reunited
trio's recording of "Pua Carnation" won Single of the Year honors in
1988.
Pavao had won Male Vocalist of the Year honors in 1987 for "Ka Keo
Ki'eki'e," one of several albums released by Uehara's Poki label.
Another, "Hawaiian Soul," was the winner in the Traditional Hawaiian
Album category in 1989, while a third, "Na Mele Henohano: Dennis
Pavao," took top honors as Anthology of the Year in 1993. He
subsequently recorded "All Hawaii Stand Together" for Poki, and two
albums, "Wale No" and "Sweet Leilani," for Maui-based Pilialoha
Records.
He is survived by wife Leialoha and six children.
Funeral arrangements are pending.
Cards and condolences can be sent to the Pavao family in care of radio
station KPOA 93.5 FM at 311 Ano St., Kahului, HI 96732; or by e-mail
to denni...@hotmail.com.

How does his reply to a DGH post "pro[ve]" that he's lying about

Have no regrets. His comment, which referred to me, is an indicator
that he knows that I am posting regularly, and making a fool of him on
a recurring basis.
Were I indeed in his kill file, he would have no way of knowing this.

Of course, with Miss Loki it's true but she doesn't get that if you are
killfiled but someone else quotes you in their post it will show up. That bit
of logic seems to have escaped the ho. No surprise.

And they will also be visible to anyone who does not have me in their

Here is another stumper for you. Terry claims not to have been able to
read any of my several posts in which I offered to bet him $1,000 to
be held in the independent, bonded escrow company of his choice as to
whether or not Reagan would live out the year.
However, that bet was included in it's entirety in the posts of
several other people.
Funny thing is, he has even commented on it.
But, still no money and all mouth.

And what bonded escrow service have you deposited your $1000 with and which
charity will get it if Reagan lives out the year?
Or are you "no money and all mouth?"

Well, a fairer description might be "a little bit of money and a lot
of mouth." He and I have our own personal mini-dead pool on the
matter, for the lofty sum of $10. (And who said anything about
charity?)

Why do you say I am "a little money"? It was you, not I who chose that
figure. Would you like to increase it?
Loki
Loki
I have not. I challenged terry to put up, or shut up. He has not
accepted my challenge. When he does, the money will be deposited in
the independent, bonded escrow company of his choice.

And I pointed out that you didn't need Terry to prove that your were 100%
confident in your opinion.
As long as you were accusing someone of being a coward for not putting up
their $1000, you are being a hypocrite if you don't put yours up.
If you don't, you don't have any reason to criticize Terry on that count.
There are plenty of other things to get on him about, but getting on him for
not doing something that you also won't do is pretty ridiculous, even for
this newsgroup.

I intend to as soon as Terry tells me what independent, bonded escrow
company he is putting his in. Why is that concept so difficult for you
to grasp?

I intend to put my money in the escrow fund of his choice. There is no

Having already made the stupid error in judgment of commenting on this
thread in the first place, I might as well point out that it's not all
that unreasonable to ask for a verbal agreement to a wager before
actually depositing the money in escrow.

Except that Loki keeps insisting that he is so sure that Reagan will die
this year that he is willing to put $1000 on it.
But he will only do so if someone else will put some on the opposite side.
Then he keeps harping that the person on the other side won't put his money
where his mouth is.
Well, I don't see any money coming from Loki, either. As I pointed out, if
he is so sure of his opinion, there is no reason to wait for Terry. He can
put the $1000 in escrow and if he is wrong (which he insists he won't be)
then he can donate it to the charity of his choice.
If he is as sure of his opinion as he says he is, why won't he do it? He is
not risking anything (according to him, since he is 100% sure he is right).
Since he doesn't, he is failing just as much to "put his money where his
mouth is" as is Terry. In fact, it is more so, since I believe Loki offered
the challenge. If you want to accuse someone of not putting his money where
his mouth is, you had better be ready to to it, with or without the other
person who you are challenging. After all, you are the one who said you
would do it, not the other person. And since there is a way to do it very
easily without depending on the other person, it comes time (using another
hackneyed phrase) "to put up or shut up."
Actually, I got tired of seeing Loki trot out this alleged "bet," and keep
harping on Terry not carrying through, when it seemed obvious to me that
Loki had no intention of carrying through and tossed it out there assuming
that Terry wouldn't respond. It is just a case of Loki carrying on the
ridiculous flame wars here. It's

And when discussing a wager, expecting to win something in return for
risking something is bad because?

Yes, I do.

In the first place, I do not need to put it in an escrow for that. In
the second place, if I have nothing to win, I see no reason to take
even the slightest risk.
>If he is as sure of his opinion as he says he is, why won't he do it? He is

Please show me where I said I was 100% right. I never did. I am not
100% of anything. I expect for example that the Rams will win the
Super Bowl. I would wager money on it. However, I am not 100% certain
of it.
Likewise, I am confident enough to put money on the Gipper biting the
big bazooka this year. However, I am no more 100% certain that he will
die this year than I am 100% certain that lightning will not strike
me.

See above.

I did, and Terry did not accept it. JD did, and we have a private bet
for a smaller dollar amount which he can provide the details of if he
chooses.
