Okay jobird, I was wondering what I was in for but it
was a good surprise. I heard the opening of that song
without vocals on a tv commercial and wondered what that
was. Thanks, it's a keeper.

By the way, when I clicked on the link the song was loaded
into my music playlist. Since I am far from a computer
whiz, how can I get it from my playlist to my library so
I can burn it at a later date. I thought I could just
drag it from to to the other, but no dice. Can you help?

Q85,

When you click on a music file,it downloads to a folder you have selected;mine go to the Temporary folder. You need to find that file,then Copy and Paste it to your Music folder.

Make sense?

Alright! Both Jake and Bruddah Israel are from Hawaii, where I'm from, home of the ukulele. Jake rips live in concert, is genuinely humble and a nice guy, he looks a little different now. Iz recorded Over the Rainbow/Wonderful World back in 1993 and died a few years later. It was just known locally but then the song started appearing in movies, TV, commercials, public radio and stuff and just blew up. Thanks for posting some stuff from Hawaii, we're more than all that stereotypical stuff. Aloha.

Hawaii is a beautiful place,for sure!! The Uke is a perfect instrument for a solo performer.
