While looking up some King Benny after Andy's great post, I stumbled across this great gem of a live performance from 1927...

Man, what a clip. So much to observe.

Those metric modulations are just killer.

And then the chubby guy playing the ukulele and singing - pure comedy.

So much talent. I'm new to the Hawaiian genre, but just in terms of musicality, this is a really interesting clip.

I guess it all tracks back to how good music used to be.

Very Happy
Can anybody identify this double-necked instrument on the far right?

That double necker looks like 6 string guitar with a 4 string tenor/baritone uke built in...

The extra neck extension has low bass strings.
