About
Live ‘Ukulele is run by two (sometimes more) ‘ukulele-loving homeschooled kids on our way to the next Kahumoku ‘Ohana Music and Lifestyle ‘Ukulele and Slack-key workshop. Our goal with this site is to provide ‘ukulele info, while at the same time earning money to pay our way to the workshop(s).
We are:
Hippie Guy - picked up an ‘ukulele for the first time in 2005 at the age of twelve, after moving to the Big Island of Hawai’i from California. (Time passes) After three years of learning Aloha and the craft of ‘ukulele from numerous artists and friends, he moved back to the Golden State. Now Hippie Guy continues to search for band members and the ultimate meaning of life somewhere in the Boonies outside of Placerville, CA.

Slack Key Kid - has been playing the ‘ukulele for four years and slack key for two. He moved from Oahu to the Big Island in 2000 and started taking classes from Keoki Kahumoku several years ago. He is not as determined to turn his skills to a professional job as Hippie Guy, but he is still striving to take his playing to another level.
