IZ Lives

As a child we dream big.  Our senses are enlivened with joy when we discover new things to touch and see.  Our dreams are always there reminding us of something much more…something magical beyond the stars in the night sky.  In time, the dreams slowly fade away.  Is this all there is?  Is there nothing more?  We search for inspiration and perhaps once in a blue moon, we find something, or someone giving off a spark:

Israel Kamakawiwo’ole (IZ) was such a person.  He left us at the young age of 38 in 1997.  Yet he left behind a rare artistic vision to inspire us to dream again.  His art was his voice and his unique style of Hawaiian folk and jazz. Sometimes IZ would take a simple pop tune, work it with his vocal and ukulele magic, and transform the arrangement into an unforgettable moment. 

IZ Lives!  Watch and Listen closely and you just might perceive the spark of his amazing dream:
