Jesus is the best thing that ever happened to me.

I’m currently an Audio/Visual Specialist for the Kamehameha Schools for the past 13 years.

I worked for the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel as a Sound & Lighting Technician for 18 years.

I worked with the Brothers Cazimero as their Assistant Lighting and Sound Technician / Stage Manager for 12 years.

I traveled to Japan, China, and LA to promote Hawaiian music for the Hawaii Visitors Bureau.

I also traveled to New Zealand, Japan, LA, San Diego, Kauai, Maui and the Big Island to setup and run audio sound reinforcement for KES, KMS, and KHS Preforming Arts Dept.

I’ve been playing Hawaiian music for over 30 years. I play the ukulele, guitar, and bass. I also love to sing.

I set up sound reinforcement audio equipment for conventions, weddings, luaus, parties, and different functions that require live music.

My hobbies include fishing, golfing, bowling, 4 wheeling, playing Hawaiian music and talking off my Amateur / CB radio’s.

  1. Aloha Uncle Jeep,

    I love this…I’m going to forward this blog to all my husband’s friends who want to learn how to play but don’t know where to go. Thanx again.

  2. Thank you so much for posting MP3s of such beautiful Hawaiian songs. I am just learning to play the Ukulele and want to only play Hawaiian songs, so your site is great! Because I am learning I am a having problems with strumming, but I am trying to mimic your strums, it would be great if you published those too! Mahalo!!

  4. Hi Jeep

    I’m so glad I got to meet you on the Hawaiian cruise
    I started my lessons today
    I am wondering if you can add pearly shells to your bog so I can learn that one, if it’s already there I might have missed it

    Thanks Tena Tayler
