Here's an article from the Branson Courier website.

Elvis and Hawaii in a “basket”- a best show value?
By Gary Groman (The Branson Courier)
03/15/2004



Combine the talents of native Hawaiians, David Lomond, and his wife beautiful and talented wife, Alohi, Branson’s king and queen of Hawaiian entertainment, with the hospitality and cooking of the “three sisters” who own Jimmy Jet’s Restaurant in downtown Branson, Teresa, Chris, and “Jo” and what do you get? For one night a week, on Thursdays between 5 and 7 p.m., quite possibly, Branson’s most unique and best show value. Where else in Branson, or anywhere else for that matter, can you see an exciting Varity show of this quality and eat for $12.95!



The show itself is a unique and one of the most entertaining, fun-filled, and exciting Hawaiian Varity shows this side of Waikiki. The combination of David’s singing and Elvis, Alohi’s award winning hula dancing, and their charisma and style provide for a two hour entertainment experience that’s full of singing, dancing, laughs, and just plain fun.



David’s rich natural baritone voice is well used to present a variety of music in his own unique Hawaiian style including contemporary, Hawaiian, gospel, and of course the Hawaiian standards Elvis’ “Blue Hawaii” and Don Ho’s “Tiny Bubbles.” One of the shows highlights is sure to be the portion of the gospel music segment where David sings Gospel classics in both Hawaiian and English. It is truly moving and unique not only in terms of its presentation but in the “aloha spirit” of God from which it flows.



Of course there is the ever popular incorporation of “Elvis” into the show. David is a world-class Elvis performer with all the moves and a voice that is as close to Elvis’s as one is going to hear, live, in this world. You just have to hear it to believe it.



Kealohilani "Alohi," is a graceful and talented award-winning hula performer from Hawaii who has performed professionally throughout Hawaii, Waikiki, and the Mainland United States. She has taught hula privately, at shows, and community colleges. Her beautiful hula dancing enhances the special warmth of the real Aloha Spirit of Hawaii that the show generates. Oh, and be ready to laugh, she might just teach you, or someone you know, to hula!



Completing the uniqueness of this entertainment experience is the shows venue which could be the most unique show venue in Branson. Jimmy Jet’s is located at 203 S. Commercial Street in the traffic friendly environment of historic down town Branson. It is themed in the Golden era of drive-in movies, swaying palms trees, and movie-stars and provides a relaxed intimate atmosphere in which to experience the show. The shows price also includes a “basket,” containing either BBQ Pork, Blackened Chicken, or the world famous “Jimmy Jet Burger” along with French fries, cold-slaw, and a drink.



Another unique aspect of this show is that there are no tickets. It is first come first serve but reservations can be made by calling Jimmy Jets at 417- 335-COOL (417-335-2665).



To be enjoyed by the whole family, don’t miss this once a week opportunity to experience one of Branson’s most unique and spiritually moving shows.

This summer we happened to be downtown for lunch and he was performing. It was fun. He stopped to take people outside for photos in front of his pink cadillac. We had to position ourselves so the fin would show in the pictures. One more little thing that makes Branson so unique.
