A Wonderful Trifecta

Oh, what the heck.



I wasn't planning on having a third version in a row of "What a Wonderful World" -- but why not?  All three have something special to offer, and the affection of the song is such a balm for these days.



This version, in particular.  It's from the late Hawaiian singer Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, and is very much in the style of his well-known and glorious rendition of "Over the Rainbow." 



And hey, if you want to celebrate Sebastian Gorka resigning, this is as good a way to start...


Since you've put up with three versions of "What a Wonderful World," I thought I should toss in a bonus.  Most here I suspect will know it, but if not you're in for a treat.  This is Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's best-known recording, the afore-mentioned and ethereal "Over the Rainbow."



It's utterly wonderful on its own.
