5.0 out of 5 stars Love this CD!, June 26, 2000

This review is from: Hawaiian String Virtuoso: Steel Guitar Rec 1920's (Audio CD)

This is a very charming CD. I have long wanted something just like it but didn't know what to look for. It has a touch of both the 1920's and Hawaii, at what surely must have been a simpler, less commercial time in Hawaii's history. I cannot compare it to another CD as I am not familiar with others in this genre, but at this moment this one is sufficient because it is wonderful! My favorites include Singing in the Bathtub, Ukele Benny, Guitar Rhythm, and last but not least, Mauna Kea, my absolute favorite, which I originally discovered in a short animated film called Black Hula, and which ultimately led me to King Bennie Nawahi. Really, you've got to check it out!

5.0 out of 5 stars A True Virtuoso, August 20, 2000

This review is from: Hawaiian String Virtuoso: Steel Guitar Rec 1920's (Audio CD)

The title tells it all...King Bennie Nawahi was a true virtuoso, playing every conceivable form of guitar and ukulele (sometimes all on the same song!), and having a great time doing it. You'll have a great time too with this CD, which was culled from recordings of the 1920's, and encompasses music of many genres...Hawaiian, country, jazz, novelty...you name it. The guitar work is simply phenomenal. This is happy, happy music played by a true master.

5.0 out of 5 stars amazing cd ..., June 20, 2001

Abouth the King Ben Nawah CD. As a record collector. I must admit I've never before heard the name King Bennie Nawahi, BUT NOW I REALLY HAVE!. Of all the five stars avaiable, I would give this one six ... It proves once again that in the jazz and western swing area of the 20's and 30's you hardly can go wrong at all. I recomend this to guitar lovers everywhere, a real kicker !
