3. it's nice isn't it?

Just listening to a cool ukelele, a cool guy....and really thinking for just a few minutes that life really can be good....

Thanks for kicking this---I hope other people are listening, enjoying, and not stressing for just a few moments.

10. We didn't know he died until two years ago

how awful it was too find out we could never hear him in person!

Thanks for the video-- how cool is that!

12. when I die I want to go the same way

but sadly, I fear the "party" will be much smaller

15. I love the funeral reception scene in "The Big Chill"

Someone looks at the crowded room and says "You'd never get this many people at MY funeral". Jeff Goldblum responds "I'll come. And I'll bring a date".

This is a really beautiful version of a really beautiful song. The original by Judy Garland, is great, jazz versions too. My youngest son took piano for a few years and "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" was his first recital piece, a duet with his teacher. Wasn't a dry eye in the place.

Izzy's version is haunting because of his great voice, yet light because of the uke. What a great combination, I'm glad he recorded it.

16. I was just thinking about the exact same scene.

Lol.

13. Check out this YouTube. Mellow and lovely. He was a great talent.

This song helped me through the death of my mother. Sounds silly and morbid...but it really helped.

Waves, palm trees. Perfect. Shark! (He never lost his sense of humor.)

11. IZ. A giant talent. A Giant man. Gone too soon.
