Today is a very special day: the end of a hole year approaches and a new one starts soon, full of hopes, wishes and things that mar your mind. So for such a special occasion I had to post a special song, a really special one. That's why I've chosen Israel Kamakawiwo'ole (1959-1997). This popular hawaian singer made magic with this medley just playind the songs with his ukelele. You'll realize what I'm talking about when you'll listen to it. It's a pitty that he died due to weighted-related respiratory illness (he weighted once 350 kg, which is quite much). If you want to know more abour The Gentle Giant (that's how native hawaian people and his admirers called him; also Iz) chech this wiki.
