Israel ‘IZ’ Kamakawiwo ole
One of my all time favorite entertainers. I own all of his albums and listen to him all the time.
One day my honey and I were watching the movie Finding Forester with Sean Connery. During the credits I heard the most wonderful voice. I rewound, watched the credits and identified who the singer was. I was an obsession, of sorts, from then on the find his work on CD.
IZ has gone to the “udda side” now but he promised to “keep da stew hot.” Can’t wait to meet him.
I ought to learn how to put sound bites on my blog so I could share his music with you.
Among my favorite songs are: Coney Island Washboard Woman, Twinkle Twinkle, You Don’t Know me, In Dis Life and What a Wonderful World. Actually, though, I love them all!

A Whale of a Tale
The Whale
If you read the front page story of the SF Chronicle, you would have read about a female humpback whale who had become entangled in a spider web of crab trapsand lines.
She was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps that caused her to struggle to stay afloat. She also had hundreds of yards of line rope wrapped around her body, her tail, her torso, a linetugging in her mouth.
A fisherman spotted her just east of the Farralone Islands(outside the Golden Gate) and contacted an environmental group for help.
Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined that she was so bad off, the only way to save her was to dive in and untangle her…A very dangerous proposition.
One slap of the tail could kill a rescuer. They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually set her free.
When she was free, the divers say she swam in what seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, and nudged them, pushed gently around-she thanked them. Some said it was the most incredibly beautiful experience of their lives.
The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth says her eye was following him the whole time, and he will never be the same.
Too Cool!!!
