Hi,

I know Tony Delroy plays "Over The Rainbow" by Eva Cassidy(spelling?), but Eva is a she, I assume it is on the ABC playlist. She died a while ago now.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
Buzzer

I'm guessing you are chasing the beautiful Ukulele backed "Somewhere over the Rainbow/It's a Wonderful World" by "IZ" (Israel) Kamakawiwo`ole.

That's his name, Hawaiian ,he was about the size of a small elephant and died about ten years ago. The song's had a lot of play on ABC radio over the last three or four years, and Ukulele music just doesn't get any better. (unless you get a chance to see Jake Shimabukuro)

A google search on either will give you heaps of info, including album sales!

cheers,

P (I don't listen to television, I watch radio)

Somewhere Over the Rainbow has been covered by quite a few singers including Judy Garland ,Eva Cassidy and of course our own Billy Thorpe.I also remember Eva Cassidy doing a wonderful job of it Buzzer but is ptc saying that the version he heard is a male singer?

[Lignum]

I didnt hear it but id say its "IZ" Kamakawiwo`ole.

go here http://www.hawaiianislandmusic.com/Merchant2/israelkamakawiwoole.html

and scroll down to second group on the left and hear a sample of it. Youl soon know if it was him.

My two bob worth is Thorpie sang the best ever and most emotional version:)

Hello ptc,I just had a quick look and the version that bitingmidge mentioned is available as a free download.I just went into AltaVista's mp3 search and there were alot of sites to download that version from if that is the right one.

For what it is worth, I am listening to it while I was reading this note.. I downloaded it just this afternoon from

http://search.singingfish.com/sfw/home.jsp


and it is the version by: Israel Kamakawiwo'ole

I once did a google on him and found out he died some years ago and that THIS version is very popular around the world...

Thank you All for you replies.

At the risk of providing " a whiff of Lavender" :

thank you all, I am listening as I type... this is beautiful. I am most grateful!

[keith53]

Didn't Kermit the Frog have a version of Over the Rainbow as well? :D

[Terry1]

Hello ptc,I just had a look at the singing fish site that Brudda recommended and the song (Over the Rainbow) came straight up for me (as well as the other 326 available downloads)it must be a Very popular number as I reckon that there would be about the same or even more on the Altavista site.

Struth Zed. :eek:
You feeling OK? :confused:

" a whiff of Lavender" ????? You had your head buried in the washing? :D

For what it's worth, I think Iz did a better job of the Uke that Tiny Tim did.

[echnidna]

Just had a look fer

"hang her in the hen house"
