Thanks for the heads-up, Andy. This is the good stuff!

Benny was a monster steel player and uke wizard. One of my all-time faves.

Thanks for posting this Andy...Reminds me of why I love playing and studying steel guitar. Sounds like an acoustic guitar and I've also heard Bennie use a metal Reso as well. Probable a Ric Fry Pan to but not sure. Is this Sol Hoopii's C#min7 tuning I'm wondering? Nice stuff...

Some really beautiful material here. Great guitar tone. Not the usual Hawai'ian repertoire. Thanks.

You're welcome, all. FYI, the size of the original record was huge! 16". I assume these were manufactured solely for radio use.

Yes, I once had a translucent red transcription disk like that. I had forgotten they start on the inside.
