That's funny cause I asked the exact same question!!! :lol:

As I recall, he strums a ukele or something like that and sings "Over the Rainbow" and "What a Wonderful World" as ballads... one of these is currently being used in a commercial running on TV. Can't recall which one. I read he was a famous entertainer in Hawaii and he recently died. (Back from a trip to AMG; OK, Actually he died in 1997 at the age of 38 from complications of weighing....over 750 pounds!!!!! Yikes!!!That's a whole lotta macadamia nuts!!!) :roll:
