Please note that the PICTURE UPLOAD function is not working. The iBoats Forum Moderators are working with the system administration folks at the parent company to get the issue resolved. This happened about a year ago and here we are again. In the meantime you can post photos as links to a picture hosting site of your choice. We are sorry about the inconvenience and will advise when the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
I guess his "tiny bubbles" finally burst. I think I remember the news reporting last year that he was in bad health but was supposed to recover. He rode the top of entertainment business for a lot longer that I ever thought he would. Fashioned a long career off of one song.
He was a regular attraction in Waikiki when I was homeported at Pearl during my Navy years.The tourists ,especailly the older women loved him.A true Hawaiian legacy.As I recall he was quite the drinker.
