    Post Singer

    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

    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?

    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...
    I try and do new things twice.. the first time to see if I can do it.. the second time to see if I like it

    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?

    For what it's worth, I think Iz did a better job of the Uke that Tiny Tim did.
    Cliff.
    If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.
