Ukulele Stories: Peter Luongo

August 29, 2025

My first encounter with Peter Luongo is etched in my memory.

On a balmy evening in Waikiki in 2002, I walked into a hotel and was greeted by the extraordinary sound of the Langley Ukulele Ensemble, a school group from British Columbia, Canada. Out front, conducting the strum-happy teens, was the most enthusiastic man I had ever seen. Grinning from ear to ear while leading the band with total precision, it was truly something to behold.

Peter and I had an engaging conversation and I hope you enjoy it!
