-He's only short, about 6" high. Survived many a "Domestic" in the household since it was given to Me. Mum used to LOVE throwing things at My drunk ol' Man during fights & the NZ Tiki was a popular choice(?! Dunno why?!)I went & joined a Hippie Commune, run by a Kiwi of all people, who played Hawaiian Steel guitar with "Bill Wolfgramme & His Islanders" & later turned into a "Col. Kurtz" in the Aussie Bush, to get away from all the Family Fights. Luckily, My favourite Aunt saved the NZ Kiwi
along with the "Glasier Ice" & other boyhood memories, during My "Hippie" phase & that's why I still have him to this day. My ex-Sister in Law was a "Young" of the Hamilton Horse Stables "Youngs". The Kiwi "Guru" was from "Whitianga" in the "Bay of Islands" We had to listen to his singing Maori & Polynesian tunes for 5Yrs...& I later found out that he made half the Native words up!! Only "Tune" He's playing now is rattling his metal cup across the iron bars at Long Bay..My Older Brother was a Muzo(Jazz Musician-Pix of a young Tommy Emmanuel at our Family BBQs!)who later went to Vietnam as an Entertainer, so He brought back quite a bit of O/seas Curios.The "Brady Bunch in Hawaii" Ep hadn't come out yet, on Tv, so My Brother must of gotten the "Curse" story from some other source? "Adventures in Paradise" maybe, or "SurfSide 6"!!
