Merry Christmas to all you PPOT'ers
And don't be afraid to say it ..."Merry Christmas!"
. My Christmas card to all of you - . ~~~~~~~~ . . ~~~~~~~~ . From Two YouTube Subscribers: . "I'm a total Punk Rocker, Dead Kennedies. Plasmatics, Big Black, etc. This song however touches nerves I just can't explain. It's as if , ... reminds me of, ... what it must be like to look back on life after death, with a touch of sorrow. Reflecting upon the things you wanted to change, but never got around to. The people you wanted to be friends with, The House you never built, The apologies you never made. The birthday parties you missed. This song reminds me how short life is. It's so, .... heartbreaking. I really like this song, but I do not like listening to it. Does this make any sense?" . ~~~~~~ . "Bless his soul ...The song's lyrics are pure poetry but in Israel's rendition, it took a whole new meaning of hope and inspiration. Rest In Peace Young Israel for you have gone over that "rainbow."" . ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ISRAEL KAMAKAWIWO'OLE LYRICS "Somewhere Over The Rainbow / What A Wonderful World" . Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high And the dreams that you dreamed of Once in a lullaby Somewhere over the rainbow Blue birds fly And the dreams that you dreamed of Dreams really do come true ooh oh Someday I'll wish upon a star Wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where trouble melts like lemon drops High above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me Oh, somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly And the dream that you dare to, Oh why, oh why can't I? Well I see trees of green and red roses too, I'll watch them bloom for me and you And I think to myself What a wonderful world Well I see skies of blue And I see clouds of white And the brightness of day I like the dark 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 passing by I see friends shaking hands Saying, "How do you do?" They're really saying, I...I love you I hear babies cry and I watch them grow, They'll learn much more than we'll know And I think to myself What a wonderful world world Someday I'll wish upon a star, Wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where trouble melts like lemon drops High above the chimney top That's where you'll find me Oh, somewhere over the rainbow way up high And the dream that you dare to, why, oh why can't I? I?

MELE KALIKIMAKA and Hau'oli Makahiki Hou. To all you Pelicans out there!
It's been a blessing to have you all here to touch in with over this challenging year for me, Mahalo! Great song Don. I was fortunate to hear Iz and his brother Skippy perform and those boys could fill a stage and a concert with their beautiful spirit. Cheers Richard |

Merry Christmas to all the members of one of the best forums on the Internet.
Wonderful Christmas card, Don! That beautiful song by Israel often makes me cry and that turns out to always be a good thing for me.
