His parents and friends used to go to the Trade Winds often and that they had seen Don Ho perform at the Trade Winds a number of times back in the sixties. He may dig up a picture or two of them. The high rise buildings you see in the distance were also Bud's projects from the seventies and eighties. I found this odd pole on top of the fence made of telephone poles and it looks like it was carved once but I'm not sure. If it is natural tiki so much the better. The sign for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Highway is ironic in I think that it led to the downfall of tiki in the United States. I also photographed the Lobster Trap in Oxnard which has a few items from the Trade Winds. [ Edited by: Ojaitimo 2006-09-29 11:45 ]
