Doctor Z and I had another fruitful day of Garage-Saling. Here are some of our finds:

Doctor Z's finds:

1. Tiki Ashtray from Hawaii
2. Hawaiian book from 1960s
3. "Eden's Island" cd by Eden Ahbez
4. Tropical fish statue for his bar

Sabu's Finds:

1. Polyester Hawaiian shirt from the 1970s (just my size).
2. Captain's hat (I may show up to the next event as "Cap'n Sabu"
3. Book entitled "Cannibal Valley"
4. Connie Steven's "Hawaiian Eye" lp.

Doctor Z picked up the mint-condition copy of Eden Ahbez's "Eden's Island" for only a buck! How lucky can you get!? But the record albums are my obsession. I picked up a few with amusing cover art today.

The "Cannibal Valley" gets a mylar dustjacket protector and goes on my coffee table. The Connie Steven's album (1960) is definitely my best find of the day. She's photograped singing in a great vintage Polynesian club, with glass float in nets, tapa cloth walls, bamboo, etc. I've read that the club scenes were filmed at the Shell Bar of the Hawaiian Village Hotel, and that Martin Denny's group played for her numbers. Can anyone confirm or deny this for me?
