Shima-Ringo
Standing at a whopping 8 feet 2 1/2 inches tall, this Sax-Man is the "brass kissin west-coast  tower of power" behind the Shima-Gais original sound. He rolls hard like a night train from East L.A. to Vegas. He's cooler than Coolio with a better hair style and a bigger starr than Richard Starky.
Officially the hardest working member of the band, he actually has 6 arms. 4 of which are prosthetic. At the same time, he can blow a Sax, whack a tambourine, shake a shaker and bang the bongos.

Truly believing the CIA is after him for his involvement in bribing referee officials from the 1987 midget-tossing event scandal, "Jeff" has become a master of disguise.
Seen here to the left, Ringo is donning his "Roger the Rabbit" disguise flanked by "Princess" Jessica Rabbit, doing their best to go un-noticed by the many government officials whom frequent the Shima-Gais Live shows

Here's some fun brass facts!           

- Ringo means 'apple' in the Japanese language. He thinks no one knows, but in the privacy of his bedroom we know he likes to have his woman color his head red with lipstick and chant "an apple a day, yeah baby, an apple a day".

- Ringo rhymes with lingo, dingo, bingo, and flamingo.

- He used to live on Jeffery street in California during his wild and crazy experimental days as a drummer. Then he moved to Luzon in search of the ever elusive miniature Luzonese women with ankle long hair. One of which he brought back to Okinawa in a carry on bag.
