Hello everyone, I've been in love with Exotica, Tiki Culture and Mid-Century America since I was a child, only I didn't realize it until the last ten years! I live, was born and raised in South Florida and have taken for granted so much of the mid-century modern, "Populuxe"-type architecture and landmarks that exist down here in the Ft. Lauderdale-Miami area. I've never even been to the legendary "Mai-Kai" restaurant in Ft. Lauderdale! I plan to remedy that bit of insanity in May, when my wife and I celebrate our 7th wedding anniversary.

About me: I'm a big fan of Les Baxter, movie music, Elvis movies (after hating them for years!), Vintage Disney, Jazz, World War II and virtually everything else connected to 1940s-1960s America. I look forward to contributing to the forum and learning from the rest of the fine folks here. BTW, my username comes from the 1954 Burt Lancaster movie, which I've always enjoyed.
