Anyway a quick listen to the new CD was pleasing, but I will need to thoroughly absorb its sonic qualities next weekend while smoking a cigar and sipping an appropriate tropical drink -- which will not be the Zombie recipe in the Beachcomber book because it is too complex for my modest bar. On other aspects of the book, I really like the way it is layed out and there are many wonderful photos and tales about Don, but A) many of the artifacts (objects) used to illustrate the book are repetitive and definitely not up to BOT standards B) there is no information about THAT WOMAN which would have helped complete the story.
