Somewhere Over The Rainbow

Somewhere Over The Rainbow

I thought that I would post something a little different today. Last night I went to a wedding and this song, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", by Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwoʻole, was played while the bride and groom danced.  This is my favorite version of the song. The video I'm posting is IZ singing the song while all of his family and friends celebrate his life and death in the island tradition. He died of weight-related respiratory illness on June 26, 1997, at the age of 38.
