What happened to Peter Luongo? Is this his son? He has that flair,too. This group started as a district wide school project. Every kid in the Langley school district was given a uke. Starting in first grade they learned to master the instrument,including composition, singing with harmony, jazz improvisation. We were lucky enough to see them at the uke festival probably 2005 or so. There were some folks who had graduated and still played with them. Peter was funny and the whole experience was phenomenal. It looks like they are still going. They played some Hawaiian songs, too and except for pronunciation they were spot on. Oakland '21
Thank you for your comments. Peter is still involved with the LUA but it is his son Paul now at the helm of the top ensemble. Its always nice to hear from someone who saw the group in the past and (hopefully) left with an impression of what these kids can do.
