I have no problem mixing Les Baxter, Combustible Edison, and The Aqua-Velvets. Different generations, different sub-genres, but it seems to work (again, as previously stated, the key being what gets you in the "Tiki frame-of-mind"). So, then maybe it's the music or the persona. I have no axe to grind with JB or the "parrot-heads", but the music seems a little too deep-fried for my liking. And yes, I can listen to Martin Denny all day :wink:
