Look we all need to get along. While everyone has their own take on what's Tiki, here at TC we tend to have a common perception of what's Tiki.

I'll admit, the 3 months I spent in Key West gave way to openness to the JB music mix and culture. It couldn't be helped, he's everywhere the Keys. While not a fan of the music, or non-fan (oddly neutral on it), I really do think it would be interesting to hear his point of view on Tiki.

Understanding that the TC perspective doesn't correlate with the JB culture. Understanding the perception that the JB culture pollutes traditionalist tiki, I still really think it would be interesting to hear his perspective. Doesn't mean I have to accept it. It would just be interesting to hear.

Wouldn't it be ironic if there was common ground. Or maybe he doesn't have a point of view and just does. Who knows? Now don't stone me. :wink:
