NFR A friend just sent me the CD 'Alone with IZ'..Hawaiian...opened my eyes....

[joanietoo]

to him/his world and other music out there that is not the never-ending loud reggae we get here...

Very nice gift from my Hawaiian folk. Now I really want to visit there.

Did it have "Somewhere Over The Rainbow"? It's stunningly haunting.

I am totally addicted to his version of Over the Rainbow!

 

[joanietoo]

It does, just superb. Me too Tess.

Are you talking about the one in 5o First Dates? That's the one that really gets me. Love it.

He was a talented and courageous individual who championed the cause of...

...Hawaiian independence.

His extreme obesity (topping 750 pounds at one time) caused death at a young age. He was afforded the honors of a statesman when he passed.
