He should be inducted just because of "somewhere over the rainbow" because that's some real shit right there.

I agree he should be in. Because He is fantastic,,
He can do more with a uke that many bands can't do
with tons of gear ... He is all what stands for ALOHA A inspiration to all musicians and the world ...
