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?IP: Logged |

I can't spell his name, but you can find him under "brother Iz". His first name was Israel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_Kamakawiwo%CA%BBole IP: Logged |
