What an amazing night of vintage exotica music by one of the originals himself! For those that couldn't afford to watch him record Voodoo II or buy a plane ticket to Hukilau, this was your chance to see this great legend perform...and for only $10!!...and in our own backyard!! Those with bad headaches are excused (I've been there!), but I'm not sure what was holding back the rest of y'all. Ok, I know, there was a holiday too, so those are excused too...although it did make the traffic much lighter than usual. Anyway, I'm so glad I finally got to see Drasnin live and jamming like nobody's business. The guys from Nutty were backing him and they were pretty top-notch themselves. Last night kind of reminded me of the early days of the (current) Derby when great bands performed, but nobody knew it was going on. You could really just sit and listen to the music with minimal background noise and no crowds. Bongos, vibes and Robert Drasnin...it doesn't get more Tiki than that!
