  I was listening to Morning Edition as I always do when I had a driveway moment. Truly, I have heard this version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow and loved it. Hearing the story of it’s making and the gentle voice of Isreal Kamakawiwo`ole nearly moved me to tears. I came home this evening and replayed the story. I then ordered Facing Future. Thankyou so much for adding this haunting and lovely voice to NPR’s 50 Great voices.
