Brother its just friggin' amazing what you can find in the thrift stores around my town. They are absolutely loaded with polynesian music records........seem to be everywhere. All really cheap.
Some are just tourist stuff, but the covers are cool, great for bar decorations.
But still others are worth keeping and listening to over and over.
My wife found these three the other day. The first one goes out to Polynesiac who as always been friendly and supportive, seems to know me without ever talking.
And the second goes out to Cheeky Tiki....Great and helpful fella...and the idea of a cat in rainy London carving tikis is just too cool to ignore.
For their valiant words they recieve a cheap ass 70's Hawaiian tourist record still in the the wrappers, never opened.
The record says, "we are hawaii" or something like that.....if your idea of hawaii is a 70's caucasian chick with 70's makeup and dried out frizzy hair.
But the never played records do include all hawaiian singer from Don im a Ho, to Alfred Apaka, one of my all time favorites.
The last record stays with me, a genuine Arthur Lyman Hawaiian Christmas collection. Its all mine.
My wife bought it cause she is a Christmas freak, "this looked like fun too," she said,
I replied...."HOLY SHIT BABY, THats AUTHUR LYMAN!"
"really, whos that?"
I'm working on her, she's learning.

So enjoy fellas, they'll soon be on their way.
