@stringmeester....Mahalo for sharing this video of my uncle Billy. It wasn't to often we get to see him play on stage, even with great Hawaiian music artists like Auntie Genoa.....Aloha
J'ai rencontrer Billy Hew Len a Hawaii en 1976 et j'ai jaser avec pendant une heure,quand il est remonter sur le stage il m'as dit en 1967 j'etais a l'Expo de Montreal et cette piece est pour toi et ils ont jouer J'attendrais.Saviez vous qu'il a perdu sa main en essayant de sauver ces enfants dans un incendie.Bravo Billy
what a man !! Joyous stuff from the top banana! Thanks for a great posting, I just wish I could find this sort of live music in the southern UK............too feckin cold I suppose !
Hi Stringmeester I added my very simplified version of How'd Ya Do which further accents the great talent of Uncle Billy. Hope you can appreciate it! Mahalo nui loa, Johnny Pal
I have this DVD (Hawaiian Rainbow) and it is an amazing piece of work... features all the greatest Hawaiian musicians around in the late 1980's .. Billy is sadly no longer with us....RIP
You go Uncle; you on fire! This video is a great treasure - the legendary Billy Hew Len and Auntie Genoa Keawe on da same stage! Two great songs, How'd Ya Do and Moana Chimes. Mahalo Stringmeester for this nugget. Johnny Pal

A master of the instrument and plays Hawaiian they way it should be played!! Great sound out of that 1934 Rickenbacher fry pan.

My husband found the movie "Hawaiian Rainbow" at the dollar store! Can't stop watching Billy Hew Len. Wish I'd known him when he was alive.
