I’m still in aloha mode, after returning from Maui last week and listening to the recording of What a Wonderful World by "Iz" on my iPod this morning.

To spread some of the joy, here’s the YouTube video of Iz singing Over the Rainbow. It’s a great way to start the day (or end it.) Iz died in 1997 but his spirit lives on.

BTW–Iz’s rendition of Over the Rainbow may sound familiar. It has been used by different commercial ventures (e.g., movies, television commercials.) It’s also the intro to the Conscious Living, Conscious Leaving podcast that I started with my friend, Ilene Kouzel.  Iz’s music was very special to Ilene.
