Benny taught himself to play the 'ukulele when he was about 11 years old.
After nine years or so, he virtually put the 'ukulele away for some thirty-five
years. When I met him in 1964, he was the guitarist with the Ali'is, the band that
backed up Don Ho. In 2000, I invited him to be one of the four artists in
"The Art of Solo 'Ukulele", a concert series that led to a CD and a public TV
special. These events revitalized his interest in the 'ukulele, resulting in his album.
