I heard a version of Somewhere Over The Rainbow yesterday and can't get it out of my head. That's my fave song, and I find it to be very sad (in a happy way), but in this version it was just very upbeat and happy. It was almost like an Hawaiian version. It sounded like a ukelele playing. Has anyone else heard this?

I can't spell his name, but you can find him under "brother Iz". His first name was Israel.

I fell in love with Jason Castro's version when he was a contestant on American Idol.

*The big blue eyes didn't HURT either.
