Familiar Tune

Jan sent this to me and it is eerily beautiful. Israel Kamakawiwo'ole died in 1997 of weight related respiratory problems (he weighed over 700 lbs when he died). Sarah and I had a discussion the other day about extraordinary musicians who died way to young but left behind a timeless body of work. Karen Carpenter, Janis Joplin, Elvis Presley etc. They are like the beautiful butterfly. There life is so short but so poetic in nature.
