See him in concert tomorrow at the Diamond Head Theater in Honolulu. Great article in today's Star Bulletin:

I love listening to him telling stories as much as playing his uke.

When so many Hawaiian music icons gone, he's a living link to the golden age Hawaiian music.
And a great inspiration to the following generations.
E ola mau!

A few years back, I was told that he might come out East when he's 100. Hoping that is true!

Andy: Get ahold of Palika - Pat Enos. Perhaps you can work out something to get Bill back there.

Bill Tapia just played at EKK on Kaua'i last weekend. From Carol Yotsuda's report, it would seem he's still at the top of his form on the ukulele- and as a story teller/joker. Her emails always make me wish I was there.
