Trivia Question -
What relative of IZ's ran for our own Hawaii County council in the last few years?

I think I have most of his albums other than the new one. Ther are several youtube clips that appear to come from the same video. Is a DVD available of that whole beachside performance?

Many thanks to you Big Island for posting the You Tube links...I heard the Pearl Jam version last Christmas when the kids were here visiting...it's awesome.

Rabi - what a beautiful song for your wedding. That medley gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.

Same here. I have two Hawaiian musician friends and they played the song "IZ-style." Interestingly, we went to the Manta Ray Bar about six months later and they were playing there. (I didn't even know they played there.) As soon as they saw us and finished the song they were playing they started playing our wedding song with a dedication. I am STILL getting goosebumps!
