If any Hawaiian music experts are out there, I wonder if you could help figure something out for me about the musician listed on the "Hukilau Hulas" compilation CD as "B. Kaai"

The little information I have is that he released songs in the early 60's, novelty songs like "Keep your eyes on the hands". The production quality was excellent, with really good studio musicians (especially the steel player) and he had a voice similar to Don Ho, but much better. He also seems to have been listed on an arranger for sessions involving the Tavares brothers.

An internet search revealed absolutely nothing, except an older musician, Ernie Ka'ai. (possible my guy is a descendent or relative?)

I don't even have a first name.

King Kukulele? Anyone?
