A famous singer/uke player in the islands with the shortened name of Iz wore this shirt. His full name was Israel "Iz" Kamakawiwo'ole (I had to look up the spelling). Before his death at an early age he weighed approximately 800 pounds, therefore he wore shirts this size. He made famous a song that I know everyone has heard, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." Check him out on YouTube.com and search for Iz, Uke player or something to that effect. He is easy to find. Our tour bus driver stopped today at this location where they hang the shirt. I told her I knew who he was so she insisted I get inside to try it on. We have a big luau tonight, and tomorrow we fly off to Maui.
