I recently received an email from Thomas Gary, a graphic artist who showcased his skills through a Macromedia Flash intro screen for Iz (see email below).

Hello,
I am a graphic artist and I have just discover the music of Israel Kamakawiwo’ole. I’m glad his music is now being used for soundtracks and such because middle America would’ve probably have never have heard his music, and that would have been a shame. Soon after after discovering who sang that song at the end of Finding Forrester I find out that he has already died. It would have been nice to see what other music he was going to put out after his new found popularity.

I did a Flash intro, if you like you can use it for your site, if not I hope you enjoy it anyway.
What a wonderful voice ,I wish I could have met him.
Israel Kamakawiwo’ole is featured on AwesomeOff.com this month.

My daughter (2 and half year) loves the big sound of this gently man. She sit still when its started and hold my hand.
Almost twice a day she wants to hear him (no other song than somewhere over the rainbow, but i keep trying to change to the other good songs of him too).
greetings from germany.
I’m sitting here surfing the internet and came across Iz. “some where over the rainbow”. I feel this song can unite the world and bring peace and love to many that need it. Iz was a great man. i thank u for giving me a vision on how i want to be. dreams are what drive us to want something and i only want peace and love. thank u again to Iz,his family and the people of the great state of Hawaii…………….
