Hello all you wonderful tiki people.

I’ve been enjoying this site and forum for a while and decided it was time to introduce myself. My name is Mike Brady (no, not that Mike Brady) and I’ve been a tiki and exotica music fan since I bought “Quiet Village” when it was first released (1958?). I was about 12 years old then but that music was really something that I could identify with. Anyway, I had to make a living for a few years and kind of neglected Tiki culture but now I am retired and have much more time to devote to travel and tiki. My lovely wife also enjoys tiki which makes me a lucky man.

We live in central California (Visalia - 20 miles east of Hanford, 25 miles east of Lemoore) and there is not much going on around here that we have heard of and if any of you are from this area we would really enjoy hearing from you.
We do invite all to visit our Tiki Album in our Smugmug photo hosting website. Just go to:

This site has photos of tikis we have in our backyard and some we have seen in our travels. Take a look if you are interested.

Glad to be a new member!
