Friday January 28th, 2005 10PM No Cover!! Ukulele impresario Jumpin’ Jim Beloff, author of numerous ukulele books including the grandaddy of them all “A Pictorial History of the Ukulele”, and his lovely wife Leapin’ Liz will join us for Tiki Taix IX. Not only is the Beloff ukulele songbook series the industry standard these days, but Jim and Liz are also behind the incredibly successful “Fluke” and “Flea” ukuleles. Here’s your once in a lifetime opportunity to get up close and personal with the people who have single-handedly opened up the doors to the ukulele world for millions of people as they play a few of their original tunes on their original ukuleles! PLUS Take a sneak peak into the newly formed ukulele club of Napa Valley, The Wine Country WAIKO Flea Jumpers! Led by the one and only Iuka Grogg of the Maikai Gents. The Waiko Flea Jumpers inaugural meeting happened just this week and we have a live report from Iuka Grogg in Napa Valley. ALSO “La Mer” is a beautiful French song that was later translated into “Beyond The Sea” and sung by Bobby Darin. Tonight we hear it in its original form as we celebrate the Return of TikiFrog!! That’s right, Mr. and Mrs. TikiFrog are back in the states and ready to stake a claim in the LBC! Thats Long Beach City, California. Tonight we will toast our friendly, frere from France as he and his wife return from “Beyond The Sea”. AND King Kukulele and The Friki Tikis will perform songs of nostalgia and fun. You may have heard a few of these numbers on the King Kukulele and The Friki Tikis CD. Other songs of the season will be played as well as a couple off the cuff. One never knows what one might hear at Tiki Taix. PLUS View a rare vintage 1950’s Retro Commercial with a Hawaiian theme. Unlike anything you might see on television today, this oddity represents another style in marketing from another era in American history. ALSO Word on the street is that a brand new Polynesian Paradise is set to open in the Chicago area and it won’t be long before the Tiki World is lining up to taste the exotic pleasures of the Canoe Club. Here we will take a look at the Canoe Club now under construction in the suburbs of Chicago. Tiki Taix starts at 10pm, located at 1911 Sunset Blvd. (at Park) Not too far up the road is Tiki Ti so why not stop in at Tiki Ti for a drink before the show and say hello to Mike and Mike? Tiki Ti is located just 2 miles west at 4427 Sunset Blvd. Join us for this one night only night one time. We'll be at Tiki Taix 1911 Sunset Blvd. in Echo Park 90026 One block north of the lagoon.
