Billy Hew Len - Rarities

[Bill Wynne]

Hello, all! I haven't been around in a while. For those who don't remember me, I am an avid collector of Hawaiian music (over 20,000 recordings) who launched a 24/7 streaming Hawaiian music radio station some years ago called Ho`olohe Hou Radio. I am also an occasional steel player.

Every January 18th for as long as I can remember, I have celebrated the birthday of one of my steel heroes, Billy Hew Len. This year I am celebrating by publishing a 90-minute special broadcast of Billy's music - more than half of which has been out of print since the vinyl era. The accompanying article includes a discography of all of Billy's in print recordings as well which you can find at Spotify, Amazon Music, iTunes, or Tidal for additional exploration.

To hear these rarities, however, follow the link below:

I hope you hear something here you have never heard before from one of our favorite steelers. Rest in aloha, Billy.
