On Legends - Part 1


A friend sent me this guy's version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow today. If you don't known it, find it and listen to it, is my recommendation. I've got it playing over and over on iTunes today. Gentle and lovely. Poor Israel 'Iz' Kamakawiwo'ole, who weighed over 700 pounds at his death, died in 1997 at the age of 38.

Read about his memorial in this article.

He actually has four plus CDs, mainly traditional Ha'waiian music, but also with other music as well. All are hauntinglly beautiful. An amazing talent.

I wonder why someone would respond to this anonymously. Are you ashamed of your love for Somewhere Over the Rainbow?
