Happy 100th, Bill Tapia!

Bill Tapia on his 100th birthdayHawaiian 'ukulele master Bill Tapia turned 100 years old today - and he wasn't even the oldest guy at his birthday party! He is still performing and teaching music. If he's not the oldest active musician in the world, I'd like to know who is. I produced a Bill Tapia concert in Seattle a few years back and really enjoyed hearing all his stories from the old days.
