It wasn't Don Ho was it? He is the only Hawaiian singer I remember.

Tess,

Is this what you're talking about? I found it with google:

"...In case anyone's interested....the song on the eToys commercial by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole is Somewhere Over the Rainbow and the CD is called Facing Future. It's also on the Meet Joe Black & Finding Forrester soundtracks..."

There is a memorial page at In Loving Memory - Israel Kamakawiwo`ole that has some interesting reading in the guest book.

You may think that your sister was the "cool" one,
but I would have hung out with you!
Of course, we would have needed to listen to her albums... :)

I think I can top the geeky music listeners...I had all the Partridge family and Brady bunch albums!!!! I still have them and all the kids signed one of my albums, I met Florence Henderson a few yrs ago, have a pic w/her and her autograph, it's all in a frame on our living room wall along with 100's of other celebrity photos/autographs we have gotten over the years

Tess, I think a road trip to Maui will be necessary to appropriately acquire this album.
That will definitely make you more "cool" than your sister.
I'll drive!

Bob! That's exactly it. I didn't realize that it was to be found on a commercial til MsBat mentioned it above. When I heard it on ER I cried and cried and cried. I KNEW it had to be in Finding Forrester also. I bought that soundtrack just for that song. (After my Carpenters fiasco I wasn't going to say anything

Road trip to Maui is definitely needed in any case. When you perfect your technique for driving across the Pacific, you let me know. Do sponges surf?

psst.. I also have the John Denver boxed cd set..

The day his plane crashed I was driving from Orange County (CA) to Yuma (AZ) and came across a radio station that was playing a John Denver song.. and then another and another and another and I got this creepy feeling and sure enough they broke in to say what had happened.. anyway they played one John Denver song after another until I lost the station after crossing the mountains and hitting the desert..

<sniff>

Yet I don't sit around listening to cds all that much anyway..

The last three cds I bought were Alison Krauss, Eva Cassidy, Songbird and The Osbournes Family Album :)

I think the word "hip" is unhip but what do I know? :)

This one is for those Aflac duck lovers on board.
