This guy is the source for transporting you to retro aloha.

Anyone else listen to him? Falsetto voice.

I mixed a tape of him and the Island-aires (Torrance's Polynesian Restaurant's house band, according to the album sold at the restaurant!). I mixed in some static and short-wave sounds... morse code, etc. Then put the tape in a recreation of a vintage radio.

Makes a PERFECT accesory for a Tiki bar... the old radio playing the old tunes... barely coming in, as if from a remote time and place.

George Kainapau, I tell you... that's the key. A haunting sound.
