I haven't listened to a lot if Iz, but what I have heard I love.

 

[jbnebres]

i'm a big fan, i even began learning the uke because of talent like him.

Ukelele. Has 4 strings.
Mandolin. Has 8 strings, you play them as 4, like a 12 string guitar.

The IZ version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow is possibly one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. He was a supremely talented musician.

I forget who it was, but someone on here has/had an IZ avatar. Maybe they'll pop in...

I love IZ and have been listening to his music for a while. I know House 64 likes him too..
