jtiki,
Fun topic, indeed.

*Martin Denny and Jimmy Buffet probably get equal time on my sound system of late; Chris Isaak seems to be the most effective for me in invoke the “tiki frame of mind.” *

Used to be a huge Buffett fan, ha ha I said it! (Heck, I used to club baby Harp seals, too. Just for plehhh-zurrr!!!). However, he pulled a fast on his CA fans with the "millenuium" gigs, so I have not been to a concert in years. Not playing his music much anymore either. Is he Tiki? Who cares. Some of the ubiquitous Tiki snobbery is purtty un-Tiki in my mind.

Agree on Isaak, ya notice the images on "San Francisco Days" cd? I like the Ultra-Lounge compilation cd's as well; we have several and they get routine play. It takes all kinds, live and let listen (Taboo COve notwithstanding).

I went to Paris, and have Havana Daydreamed.

ps The Jam is Tiki to me!
