Israel's rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" has a great deal of special meaning to me. Listening to all of the music here is a wonderful way to end my evening.

Taimane is a wonder on this instrument and makes it sound like I have never heard before. I guess if you love something, you want to take that to the next level. We are having fun playing in the meantime!<br />Olivia Morris https://www.blogger.com/profile/00711607646097689874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874262419752354657.post-5842403864803714382018-05-02T17:58:22.850-05:002018-05-02T17:58:22.850-05:00There is nothing like hearing Israel Kamakawiwo...There is nothing like hearing Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". I think his version is the one everyone wants to hear! Glad your son was able to start out on a guitar, but for many who can't afford it, the Ukulele is a great alternative. Glad you enjoy the sounds!Olivia Morris https://www.blogger.com/profile/00711607646097689874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874262419752354657.post-49743289953060798622018-05-02T11:24:40.361-05:002018-05-02T11:24:40.361-05:00I've always associated the ukulele with carefr...I've always associated the ukulele with carefree, lighthearted tunes like the welcoming Hawaiian melodies, or even "Tip Toe Through the Tulips". I'm really glad you included the video of Taimane Gardner. She certainly can change assumptions and attitudes toward the ukulele. Congratulations on you new instrument acquisition.

My son introduced me to it when he was teaching himself to play the guitar. He learned the song and played (and sang) using a Capo high up, playing the notes near the neck of the guitar, which gives him a sound similar to a ukulele.
