It makes me want to puke!!! Not only does he blur the distinction between Caribbean/Hawaiian/Hillbilly throughout the year now he goes and ruins a perfectly fine distinctive Hawaiian Christmas tune!! Happy Holidays! :drink: Just Cool!! JohnTiki Aloha from the enchanted Pi Yi Lanai in exotic Bel Air Maryland! [ Edited by: johntiki on 2002-12-22 16:08 ]
