Tom, that's super fun music!! But, is this actually "Somewhere over the Rainbow?" Other than the last second of the piece, it certainly doesn't seem so?

Oh, and dadglasser... Iz's rendition is unbelievably wonderful. I went to a wedding recently and cried my eyes out when I heard that one. I've listened to Iz's music over the years, and... well... just wonderful!

Iz's song has a special place in my heart: My father - daughter dance at my oldest daughter's wedding was to this song.

Then my niece and her dad (my brother-in-law) danced to it at her wedding a last month.

When I first heard this song I wanted to dislike it - too corny.

Instead, I loved it. He was amazing.
