In Loving Memory - Israel Kamakawiwo`ole
Lately, the "In Loving Memory - Israel Kamakawiwo`ole Guestbook" has been a difficult task to upkeep on a regular basis. As a result, e-Hawaii.com was generous enough to offer some space where the guestbook process is somewhat automated. I hope you enjoy the "new" look. My apologies for any inconvenience(s) this has caused.

Many mahalos! An angelic voice now singing with the angels in heaven. I've been a fan since the 70's, thanks for the memories.

My wife and I were blessed recently on a vist to Hawaii and discovered the music of Bruddah IZ.
We loved the music played on the radio, but had no idea who sang it. As we were leaving the state, my wife happened across it and we have played it every day since our return.
What a gift to the world. We were very, very sad to hear of his passing when I did a web search.
A beautiful man from a beautiful place.
Aloha

Betty's brother just died and a friend sent "Somewhere over The Rainbow" to us. It is so beautiful. We know nothing about his music and want to buy some albums. Which one do you recommend. A tough question we know. He seems so at peace through his music. We pray that his life was as peaceful and happy. Harvey & Betty

I recently became obsessed with this music when "Coast to Coast A.M." began playing a clip as bumper music. I went to share my discovery with my daughter but to my surprise, she knew and loved it too! She had heard "Somewhere..." at a friend's wedding in 2002 and she's been a fan of Iz's ever since... It proves that true beauty is timeless! Mahalo!

I just discovered this man and his music at Border's bookstore the other day. I bought " Facing Future" after listening to a sample of it in the store. I absolutely love it. His music will live on forever.

After hearing the rendition of Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World, I just had to buy a ukulele. Since I play guitar it is not a hard instrument whatsoever but I cannot find good chord voicings that go with IZ's version. If someone knows where I can find the ukulele tabs for this song I would appreciate that. Thank you to whomever replies and thank you IZ for the song!
