That was really lovely. Thanks for sharing. I clicked through to the CD samples with the orchestra and me and my five year old daughter loved it. She was dancing around to Hawaiian ukele music in our study in Canberra. Wow. What a wonderful world.

I hope Iz’s legacy live forever, too, Fez. I believe it will. I didn’t even touch on his influence in the Hawaiian sovreignity movement in this post. That’s for another day.

Iz was an amazing man, Martin. I’m glad that so many people around the world have a chance to know that now.

Mahalo, Kat. I should have mentioned that his “What a Wonderful World” is arranged as medly with “Over the Rainbow.” The man is still making the whole world cry.

Kate, I’m going to take a lei over there later today. I’ll leave it with my aloha … and yours. Hawaii 78 and his sweet version of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star always make me cry.

This man’s music is played quite regularly during the workday. His voice was a thing of beauty. The way his voice has carried a message and a feeling around the World for all these years even after he is gone is amazing.
