Actually maybe the second time. If you count Martin Denny's recording of "Forever and Ever," on the Don Tiki album "The Forbidden Sounds of Don Tiki." That album was released in 2000, and I think Kit tracked Mr. Denny in the studio at least a year earlier. Denny wrote "Forever and Ever" in memory of his wife. Now, the piece probably isn't what would normally be considered as exotica - it's more along the lines of a Romantic piano work, but it does come from the father of exotica... Regardless, and not to take away from Mr. Drasnin of course, it was a real pleasure for us to help Bob debut his new works slated for Voodoo 2. Our mahalos to JT and TK!!!
