Did anyone happen to catch the Martin Denny tribute on Buffetts "Far side of the world" albumn - Song titled "Altered boy".

Buffett has mentioned in some interviews that Martin had some influence in his music.
Lets see a show of hands by all of us that were listening to Martin Denny in 1970?

I've also read somewhere that he's buying into the Tiki culture revival (Tiki bar), I know for a fact he's riding 10 foot boards (made in melbourne beach fl.)

There may be a good deal of sincere "Tiki" interest on his part, and if his interests causes indirectly a rather giant spot light to illuminate the revival... well so be it.

Just think, someday soon, we'll all be able to say... "I was into tiki when it wasn't cool".

Those aren't drums we're hearing, their the footsteps of countless Buffett minions running towards Tikidom. yuk yuk yuk

ps. His Carribean Soul corporation is also putting out some pretty cool Tiki Theme t-shirts and hats.
