What a cool guy he was. Unfortunately I can't get the image of him getting the axe buried in his chest cavity during The Shining.

He was a brave Autobot

Hong Kong Phooey FTW.

"There ain't nothin' in room 237 - - so stay out!"

I didn't realize this was teh guy from the shining until just now, I had to IMDB it to confirm. wow. super talented.

I've never seen such a huge freakin' ukulele in my life. Pretty cool.

It's a bass ukulele...

I can't get the image of the poster he had on his wall in the The Shining.

I'm sure some imdboogoogling would help me but wasn't this the dude who let the patients have a booze and hooker party in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

He was great in Bakshi's 'Coonskin'. His number during the credits is awesome. RIP Scatman.

I wonder if he's still going from retirement home to retirement home and riling up old folks.

/kick the can!

Love the way he loses the lyrics, scats, then admits it to the audience all without losing the tune, but not without bragging about being talented enough to do so.

awesome.

That's not a ukulele. It's a tenor guitar.

Baritone ukelele.

You've got ukulele in my guitar!

Less filling!

/got nuthin'

I came for Hong Kong Phooey references. I left reasonably satisfied.

That's because it's a Martin tenor guitar, not a ukulele. It has a longer scale than a baritone uke and has steel strings. Uke strings are nylon or gut or monofilament.

Pour one out.
