That's a fabulous photo, Andy, thanks. Here is an earlier one of Jake and Benny Kalama on bass.

Would love to know more about those Magnatone amps (the guitar, well, I've got one and love it).

The wooden handle is interesting and (I think) rare, seems maybe like a scaled up version of one of these:

No recordings of Jake Keliikoa have come to my attention. However, seeing Andy's photo, so obviously Hawaii Calls, we have to wonder if some Jake tracks survive. There is a reference somewhere that Jake influenced Jules. Here's Jake playing a Multichord? with Alfred Apaka. I don't know what book this is from, but someone might recognise it by the page number.
