Jeff… coming from you as my ukulele teacher I discovered this by accident and have enormously enjoyed seeing another part of you and your beautiful talent❤️thank you!
Love your music and love watching you live. My son now 1 years old. Has been listening to your music since he was a new born. He falls asleep to your music almost every night, and whenever we're in the car. ❤️
Aloha-Howdy, Jeff. We moved from Kula six years ago to Arizona where we see you perform at the MIM. Mahalo nui loa for keeping us connected by your music and stories. When you are not here, we listen to your cds. ❤️
I have been fortunate to see Jeff Peterson play live in mini-concerts he gave for the HI Public Library System. He is a stellar artist, a consummate professional and dedicated to the art of perpetuating ki ho’alu. Thank you PBS for showcasing his incredible music and talent and for letting him share his love for slack key and his efforts to teach and show appreciation and respect for this beautiful art.
I’ve been lucky enough to see Jeff live and get the chance to talk with him. Super chill and super duper talented. Really cares about Hawaii and her traditions
LOL!!! Suji fishing line for guitar strings. First, I have not heard this word since small kid time. Second, I do remember using suji line for guitar (and ukulele) strings. Thank you for surfacing those memories.
This is such an appealing presentation - the music of course is wonderful, but also the videography is good, the stories and photos add a lot, and the page is so well done with the chapter links.
With the imagery, could almost smell the pakalana and the maile in the cool air of upper Maui. Jeff is a storyteller teacher making him an ideal choice as a Hawaiian music cultural ambassador. Having been to a Keola Beamer concert in March, it must have been a blast touring together. Thank you for sharing what influences you and your music. The photos were great. Being a perpetual student explains how he is able to identify so many world music instruments in the decades of concerts I’ve attended. Aloha ♾
We love Jeff and his music! We met him at Goodall Guitars. James and Jean Goodall are good friends and introduced to Jeff and his music. Check out the Goodall Guitar he's playing.
Rita and I heard Jeff Play at the Waianae Public Library. A local guy with a make-shift base joined in with a Kane Kapele kind of hook up. Also seen him play at the Honolulu Book and Music fair at the grounds around Honolulu Hale. His CDs are worth collecting!
As a kid growing up in Maunaloa, Molokai us kids discovered some kukui nuts while on a hike and we ate them raw. They were ono but boy did we pay it for that night.
Thank You, PBS Hawaii & Jeff Peterson, for sharing this amazing program of music & story telling 🌺
Mahalo for watching!

He is a gift to the islands preserving and promoting the rich heritage of slack key guitar
