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.

Comments: I was first introduced to his music when my aunt came back from the islands. I the first time I listened to his music a chill came over me. He has a wonderful voice and when I had heard he died(but not his music) I was quite disappointed that I wouldn't get the chance to see him in concert.

Comments: I remember meeting Iz.& Skippy at a family party in 1981. I was just getting into Hawaiian music at the time since my girlfriend at the time knew bro.IZ. I thought he(and Skippy) were great! I think the Makaha son's best had to be Ho'oluana ,It still stirrs a lot of emotion from me when I listen to it. I miss you IZ. Scott

Comments: I am a musician in Montgomery, Alabama and I first heard Bruddah Iz sing today in my home. A dear friend who had recently visited Hawaii brought me a copy of "Facing Future" to listen to. I was moved to tears. As I listened to "Hawaii '78 :" ( over and over again) I hate that I did not have the opportunity to know Iz in this life. A gentle soul and I can tell by his voice, a sweet Spirit, I will look for him in the next life. Gregory Brown

Comments: I did'nt pay attention to his music while he was alive.But I changed my indifference to him and his music,as I happened to be on Maui for my very first time the day he passed away! A strange thing happened in the early morning hour of arou- nd 3:am. I was awakened to the faint sound of drumming,I got up looked out of the window but there was nothing.I listened for awhile till the drumming faded.When awoke I turned on the hotel tv. and it was all over the channels that Israel had died early that morning.As soon as I heard the news I knew that the drumming was for him.I do not know if anyone else heard it.My Mother told me stories of the islands so I knew that the drums were for him.His music is the greatest!His voice is so innocent and pure.His message was and as it never ever dies,about Love pure and simple. Aloha No! the Ritchison Family.
