I came across this on another newsgroup. Simply amazing. Taken with
Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' the ukelele has
risen to new heights.

'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' played on a uke. The solo is phenomenal.

IMHO.

Golly, his finger didn't even bleed.

I really like this one. Thank you.

....and I also very much like Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's 'Somewhere Over The
Rainbow/What a wonderful World'. If you have not heard it try to find it.

Yes, but it's still hard to look cool with something that looks like a
kid's toy tucked under your arm...

*G*. I dunno, I think he's kinda cute...

*After* posting this (while my jaw was still dropping) I googled his
name and found out he's got 4 CDs. WMGGW is available at iTunes. Not
quite the same rendition, but close. As is Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's
'Somewhere Over the Rainbow'.
