Well, between eBay and the recent Record Convention here in Columbus, Ohio I managed to find a total of 13 more restaurant records.

Here are just a few......

1. An Evening at Johnny Lee's (Hilarious cover with 2 guys eating Chinese food complete with tiki salt and pepper shakers on the table).

2. Bill Dean; Live from the "Terrace". (includes a version of "Quiet Village."

3. Richard Lemus at The Islands. (Sadly no pictures on this. The front and the back is a generic white cover with text only. Sounds like studio recording as well.) This was The Islands restaurant in Phoenix.

4. Mike "Malihini" Scott live at the Waikiki Restaurant in Kitchener, Ontario in Canada.

5. Los Pinguinos at El Shrimp Bucket (Roughly translated as The Penguins at the Shrimp Bucket) Great stuff!!

Cheers and Mahalo,
Jeff

Jeff, my mom had a copy of Los Pinguinos at el shrimp bucket. I believe this record is extremely rare! I have always been intrigued by the record, as the vocal harmonies are exceedingly awesome-do you have any idea what style this is?

The only time I have heard anything similar was a trio of musicians at Acapulco, a themed restaraunt (Like El torito)-upright bass, two guitars, and similar sound and feel. It's not mariachi for sure, as they wear suits, not mariachi outfits. A group with a similar sound was Los Panchos-

Any information, (or extracts from liner notes) would be very helpful!
