Oh, Pippin! I would have pinged you if I had known you were awake. I have his CD “IZ”, and when I play it, it has a very soothing effect. Many people here on the Mainland have never even heard of him. (Everyone in Hawaii has.) Smile.
I never heard of him. I’m sorry he’s no longer with us, but he did have a beautiful vioce that I could listen to sing all day!
