I've been doing some design work for Shane Co. of late. (If you don't have one of their stores in your area, they're a terrific retail jeweler, perhaps best known for the radio commercials done by Tom Shane, the company's founder, if not for Tom's memorable voice itself.)
Tom's a really great guy, and so I was thinking, maybe I should design a Shane Co. ukulele for him the way I did the Dairy Queen uke for Warren Buffett (who, coincidentally, also owns a jewelery store). Too late, I guess, as it seems that RISA's Rigk Saur has beaten me to the punch. Link

Do you mean IZ's "Somewhere Over the Rainbow/It's a Wonderful World" medley? It's 'everywhere' lately, as you said, and starts out "ooouuuuhhhh ooouuuhhh ouh oouuuuuhh."
Good Luck, p9k
Look for Israel Kamakawiwo'ole on iTunes. This song is on his album "Facing Future". Also, do a search on his name at Amazon.com. You will find a book about him released last fall. Sadly, he died in 1997 at the age of 38, leaving us with a rich legacy of his music.
