Israel Kamakawiwo`ole

Israel Kamakawiwo`ole (1959 - 1997) was a wonderful musician from Hawai'i. My personal favorite, like many, is his version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World". That is the song that first brought IZ to my attention.

This is one of my favorite pictures of him. It shows the shear joy of human contact and allowing another to give to you. May he have that joy and peace on the other side of the veil.
