A Celebration of Rich: Tributes
Ellemeno:
Wow, Jack. Timely. I'm thinking that Rich may have died with few deep regrets. Thank you so much for sharing that.
Front-Ranger:
I've never posted music before, so this may not work. This was the song I listened to on the day that Rich passed away. Afterwards, I couldn't seem to get it out of my mind. The first part puts words to Rich's joyful spirit. The second part, Over the Rainbow, describes a magical land just out of reach that is full of beauty and love. The singer expresses a wish that he could go over the rainbow, but Rich, IMO, did actually go there, and gave us the courage, the heart, and the brain, to go there ourselves, and to make it our home.
This is sung by a Hawaiian artist who has since died.

Hi, Lee, I know that song well. Here it is, by Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwoʻole:

That is a lovely version, friend Paul, and I loved seeing the video. Give a listen to the version I've posted too, because embedded in the middle of it is this song:
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're really saying I love you.
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world.

This is a great slide show. :)
And I'm glad the pic of Rich coming out of the port-a-potty got included...that was so funny when Chuck took that picture in 2007! :laugh:
