For *years* I've had the earworm of lyrics from an album I heard nearly 30
years ago... kid you not. I was one of those albums a mate had, so I heard
it loads and never got round to buying it. Stupid me. So for all these years
I've had earworm snippits of lyrics, melody and I could remember the ablum
cover in general detail but *never* the name of the group. Over the years
I've done periodic web searches and always turned up a blank. Until today!
Found it! Stackridge 'Man in the bowler hat'. But... it's discontinued!
WWWWWAAAAHHHH!!!!

I shall have to do searches for used copies for sale!

Cheers, helen s

Aye - it be on CD on Amazon's UK site, BUT - it's not actually in stock -
you have to order it and wait until one turns up. Whcih with Amazon's
history could be several years ... :-(

Oh.  Well....  SHOOT!!!!  I've been dying to own a cd with Over The Rainbow
by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole (IZ).  We went to Hawaii two winters ago and fell
in love with Hawaiian music.  This rendition can be heard at the end of
"Fifty First Dates", as well as in "Meet Joe Black" (and I'm sure countless
other movies).

Alone in IZ World is the cd we went with *finally*.  And it's SOOOoooOOO
good.  He does his own rendition to Mona Lisa, Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star,
Starting All Over Again, and the all time fav "Somewhere Over the Rainbow".

Ah, I love his voice. <G> I have his CD Facing Future, which also has his
version of Over The Rainbow on it.  I love it. =o) Puts me in the mood for
some turquoise blue surf, and waving palm trees. =o) Of course, I'm seldom
NOT in the mood for turquoise blue waters, white sand beaches and waving
palm trees.... =o) But it's a great balm to the spirit while I commute to
and from work.

Helen, set up an eBay search for it on CD, with an alert to email you when
one turns up. There is an LP version currently selling on eBay, but no CD.

Regards

Jeanette
