The wonderful world of Ukuleles

 

I would love to know why these guys all have earmuffs on. And maybe I should know the young guitarist sitting on the floor in the middle, but I'm not sure.


But my very favorite Ukulele player recorded this, and I'll share it with you. IZ or Israel Kamakawiwo'ole.


The original photo is suggested by Sepia Saturday. Come see what others have thought to share from their own files...

    Love IZ's Over The Rainbow. We also listen to Hawai'i 78. It's so beautiful. Thank you for reminding me.

    I don't think I've ever seen a ukelele played here.

    A perfect choice for this weekend's SepiaSat theme. I've always thought Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's rendition of Over the Rainbow is the most beautiful song ever. His voice and ukulele's simple accompaniment carries more emotional musical power than any other version.

    I'll chime in with the love for this version of Over the Rainbow. I stop and pay attention every time I here it played.

    Oh for heaven's sake. :) The group I sing with did this version of "Over the Rainbow" for our concert this year - complete with ukuleles! Small world.
