Aloha 'ia nō, 'o'i'o lele

Bill I don't know whether you are going for some weird modern art equivalent of radio mixing but "Island In the Sun" and "Ka Huila Wai" is being played at the same time?!? 
There have been a lot of glitches this afternoon.

Bill, I don't know whether you are going for some weird modern art equivalent of radio mixing but "Island In the Sun" and "Ka Huila Wai" are being played at the same time?!? Same here. Playing Weezer and IZ

Ugh, another song is playing at the same time! I would rather have heard this one by itself.

Whoa!! I'm hearing Iz and Weezer at the same time!!!
RP was playing Weezer and Israel Kamakawiwoʻole at the same tie. Anyone notice?

Very well put AndyJ, my sentiments exactly! Mahalo...Aloha
Takes me away. Back to a home I left so long ago. It has changed, people are gone, land is not the same. Too much anger and hatred about everything. Now I can only get there with the help of the music and memories that bring smell and feel of the air and people from long ago. Growing old is no fun. Now a different beach, different air, very different people and the air and breezes fell and smell different.
There is no going back. No going home. Aloha

No quibbling about that voice!
Makes me feel like i'm on vacation!
I don't watch much American Idol, though sometimes one of the early auditions catch my ear, as was the case for the eventual winner of the 2023 season, the Hawaiian Iam Tongi, who is a bit like Bruddah Iz in his performances and appearance. I'm stoked he won, and hope the world for him, and maybe one day he'll have a track on RP and I can post this comment on that song where it's more appropriate. Until then....Long Live RP and the beautiful singers from the islands of Hawaii!!
This guy is such a treat to listen too
The sound of Hawaii, man.. wow, good stuff.
I recommend listening to his earlier stuff with the Makaha Sons of Niʻihau.
Iz lives

We have a subdivision called 'Tahitian Village' that uses Polynesian street names - it is ridiculous. I think it's a public safety issue - how do you tell 911 what street you're on, when it's six syllables and all vowels?

We boomers request that people not have seven-syllable surnames. Thank you.

Here are the lyrics from AZLyrics.com:
The windmill just stands still
No water comes swirling up
You are a constant reflection of me
My companion, always conversing with me
Beloved indeed is Môlîlele
When the clouds swirl, the ocean is stormy
Beloved is the koae bird from
The waterfall of Wai'ôhinu
Just don't you forget
This attractive peacock
Tell the refrain
No water comes swirling up
Google translate must be "evolving". Today's translation is worse: Just standing there, The Water Wheel
I have no water to ask for
A standing mirror, you always are
A consultant, with us
Loved it, really flew
When to fly, to the ocean
Loved, Waiohinu
The water -falling cliff, the koa
Don't sit down and try to forget
In a peacock, grow clean
Tell me, I'll shout
I have no water to ask for

An excellent reference to learning regex is Larry Wall's "Programming Perl". He covers it in about 8 pages.

KPIG only plays Over the Rainbow and it does get more airplay here than this song, at least to my ears. Thanks BillG for allowing me to enjoy another song from Iz.

It is 6am and my body is exhausted after a sleepless night during the finals week.
But here comes Iz and my brain mush is suddenly floating in butter and eyes can only see the red sunset with palm tree shadow gently hugging the beach sand. Thank you Bill.

Agreed, even though I'm delighted to hear the other track when BillG spins it, bruddah Iz's voice is so smooth and downright perfect....in fact I'll go 8 to 9 on this gem today. Long Live RP and RIP to bruddah Iz!!
I just learned about radio paradise in late June and you are the first to play any of Israel's songs. This Facing Future album is one of his best and there is no other Hawaiian singer that can match his angelic tone, his clarity of pronunciation and his artistry. This album is about the plight of the islands and our land and hope... Hawai'i 78 Introduction gives me chills. La Elima is about the last fishing village Miloli'i and his voice is so melodic and beautiful.

Janne- I had only seen "hula" in the Polynesian Cultural Center, blahblah. Good stuff but in, like, hula - in a museum? No bueno. Then I went to my Philippine friend's daughter's wedding and the young gals danced the hula for a traditional wedding blessing. Holy sh*t!! You could have cut the sexual tension in the air with a CHAINSAW! The menfolk, including me, were literally bewitched- checked out of the Consciousness Hotel you might say. It was sooooo intense, mesmerizing, powerful. It was the next year I went to Hawai'i for my fiend's wedding and heard Isreael on the radio. Wow, that changed my little whitetoast life, I gotta tell 'ya. Look up the German word anschauung. No word for it in English.

This is why I listen to Radio Paradise! Thank you William.

love me some brother Iz, got married in Hawaii and picked up a CD on my honeymoon, love playing it cooking breakfasts for the family, just something about drinking coffee listening to him the in the morning just starts the day off so well.

Israel, Keola Beamer, The Brothers Cazimero, if there's a heaven, I hope that Hawaii is a hint of what it might be like.
It sincerely breaks my heart to think Israel has passed. Sing on, my brother.
Just such a great disc. Can play it all the way through.

Too bad his weight finally did him in - an amazing voice.

Wow, did THIS board get off track. Time to bring it back to the music.
Beautiful post, huebdoo. I will think of this every time I hear IZ's "Over the Rainbow."
I remember listening to him signing "Over the Rainbow" when I held my first born in my arms after her first bath at home. I remember thinking that my life was perfect.
Thanks to his gentle, perfect voice ... it is my daughters favourite tune (shes now 7) and mine too
thanks RP...

Note to flyboy—so it's not BS, and I'll accept your take back on the facts. I was unaware that ministers were calling for Bush's death from the pulpit as well. No matter what I thought of his policies and his presidency, I find any such notion repugnant and morally abhorrent. Fair enough?

Israel was featured on NPR's Top 50 Voices of All Time. Apparently, the album he did with the "Over the Rainbow" is still the top selling record of Hawaiian music. He had a beautiful talent.
Yes, Sir. Whatever you want, Sir. Right away, Sir.
Curse you, Bill! It's not fair to play this on a day when snow is flying past my window!

Really? As if the diabetes caused by a fatty, starchy island diet could not have been avoided by eating more fruits, fish, and vegetables. I lived on Maui for a year and I soon found myself in the best shape of my life. Your really have to work at being unhealthy there, and yet so many islanders are.
taken from us far to soon

Somehow I do not think it is as simple as a lack of self-discipline either. Probably a lot (was) going on with him that we just don't know about.
Many Native American tribes in the southwest have the same obesity problem. It's not so much the food that contributed to the problem but the consistent supply. As I've heard it, many humans that lived in a place where food was not in constant supply developed a feast and famine diet. Their bodies adjusted to this by absorbing food in the feast times by building up fat reserves to then consume in the times of famine. With the modern day availability of food their bodies just continue to hold fat for use later that is not needed.
That being said there are a lot of physically fit Native Americans who don't suffer from an obesity problem. So I don't know.
I think genetically the cards can be stacked either for or against you. Being blessed to come from a family with a slender build, I have great respect for the people who have overcome obesity. It's not something that I want to see if my will is strong enough to conquer.

Or maybe he was just eating too damned much of it. Mweep-mwow

I'm going to go ahead and call BS on that one. You can't go and generically say that there are "several' preachers calling for the President's head without something to back it up with. I myself have yet to agree with anything that I've heard come out of President Obama's mouth, and hate his policies with a passion. I also think he's personally an arogant prick, an enemy of the state, and an illegitimate President. I hope he's removed from office absolutely as soon as possible. But I don't wish him or anyone else death. I guess that's the difference between me and the Bush haters, Bill Ayers, Rom Emanuel, etc.
The reference to provenance—in parenthesis—seems redundant for it can be inferred from the "argument" (or lack thereof)
