Found this tonight while surfing...From the Torrance Herald, November 1962.

Also from the same paper;

"The Tiki Kai has recently signed a gentleman who Is considered world champion of the electric guitar.
His name is King Bennie Nawahi.
The interesting fact about Nawahi is that he is blind.
He will entertain you nightly at the Tiki Kai on Redondo Beach Beach Boulevard."

Which led me to this little discovery about the "King" of steel guitar;
