Jake Shimabukuro, ukulele extraordinaire, was scheduled to perform at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center on March 27, 2010, which is also Jaxon's birthday. Steve Burgess, Jaxon and Zofia's ukulele teacher from school is the Audio Director for the MACC. He was kind enough to arrange a meeting between Jake and the kids. Jaxon got to perform three of his original ukulele songs for Jake and then Jake offered to let Jaxon try out his custom Kamaka ukulele. But the best part was towards the end of Jake's concert that evening, when he acknowledged Jaxon's 8th birthday. Pretty cool. |
