The closest we got to Exotica at our place was Herb Alpert and Louis Armstrong (not close at all -- but awesome in their own right of course). If only there was a "Sing Along with Mich Miller" Hawaiian album...

That's a lovely photo of you with your Godparents. The past is the most exotic country of all, isn't it.

Oh, I've also inherited all the Herb Alpert (a good collection of all the early Tiajuana Brass albums except Whipped Cream -- how odd!), and their Baja Marimba, Brazil 66, and so on. It's not bad stuff, but things like Exotica III and The Legend of Pele have long since been out of the shipping boxes, while The Lonely Bull remains packed away.

'n' yes, there is never anything quite like the past.
