	Honey, Where You Been So Long?
		“King” Bennie Nawahi is one of the great Hawaiian steel guitar players, and one of the most innovative as his signature blend of hot jazz and blues standards shows.
		Nawahi started out as a ukulele player and vocalist, but by the early 30s he had moved to the steel guitar where he found his own style.
		This track, recorded in 1931, features some of the best git-up-and-dance hot jazz playing I’ve heard it’s a wonderful track for the hot and sticky summer we are having down here in North Carolina.

	Hawaii's Man Of Steel \| TIME
		One listens to the set, culled by Armstrong and Sherwin Dunner from rare originals, and the '30s guitarist in Woody Allen's Sweet and Lowdown comes to mind--the one who was right up there with Django Reinhardt.
		By his early 20s, and now adept in guitar, mandolin, ukulele and one-string cigar-box fiddle, Nawahi was ready for the mainland--and vaudeville.
		He worked in many pop dialects and in dozens of bands--for a while, with the young Roy Rogers--but there was one constant: inventive exhilaration.

	Review
		King Bennie Nawahi was a Hawaiian multi-instrumentalist who played slack-key guitar, ukulele, steel, and various other instruments including something called a one-string cigar box fiddle.
		Now, a lot of us know the feeling that goes along with the saying "Jack of all trades, master of none," but the King was master of all, and the man could sing, too.
		King Benny Hawahi was born in Honolulu in 1899, he taught himself to play the slack-key style on a $2.50 guitar, then moved on to steel and just kept going.

		There was also âKingâ Bennie Nawahi, a performer who seemed to transcend physical boundaries.
		The King Bennie Nawahi: Hawaiian String Virtuoso compilation (Yazoo) is a jubilant record of Nawahiâs hot steel playing backed by kazoos, horns, piano, scat singing and more.
		While returning from a gig in 1935, King Bennie was suddenly blinded.

		She was way (and I mean waaaay) beyond me in terms of her breadth and depth of Hawaiian knowledge, but that never stopped me from writing a review.
		If King Bennie was a tv show, he'd be a sitcom one minute, a drama the next, and still have time to play a gorgeous, melodic solo that hits you like your favorite Roots or Lonesome Dove-quality miniseries.
		There is no comparision to be made in terms of tone, and Bennie was a fantastic slide player so that is a whole other dimension right there.

	King Nawahi's Tickling the Strings
		I find myself with a really heavy schedule for the next couple of weeks and won't be able to devote the time needed to come to grips with the rhythm part.
		I worked out the tune for mandolin rather than lap steel and have notated it in standard format rather than tab but it is in the same key (F) and is identical to the way King Benny plays it.
		It's been more than a year that I last played that tune on rhythm guitar (the steel player played it out of G tuning instead of A tuning as Bennie Nawahi does, so we played it in Eb).

	Hawaiian String Virtuoso, MP3 Album Music Download at eMusic
		King Bennie Nawahi certainly had regal talent, and as this overview shows, he was at his height in the '20s and '30s.
		On "Hawaiian Capers" and "Ticklin' the Strings" (possibly the best sides he ever recorded) he demonstrates the extent of his virtuosity, lightning-fast at both picking and working the Hawaiian slide guitar.
		But he was equally adept on ukulele, and on "Ukulele Benny," he makes the instrument so much more than an accompaniment to singing, tossing off a stinging solo.
