I'm a writer living in Long Beach, CA (hmmm...interesting where I ended up!) and right now I'm in the midst of redoing my office bungalow into my own little tiki pad, after years of bamboo envy. I pretty much listen to Hawaiian music daily, and enjoy getting to know many of the fantastic artists, esp. slack key (Ledward Kaapana no ka oi!). I've just gotten turned onto surf rock and love it. And Martin Denny--and Miles Corbin--Arthur Lyman...wow. BTW, the Puntamayo "South Pacific Islands" and the "Islands" CDs have some amazing tracks. As a local to the LBC, I'm really glad that Sam's Seafood has reopened. I think they have done a wonderful job of giving it an updated look while preserving the tropical ambiance...the Sunday night "luau" with the ukulele and guitar players is fantastic, you can give the guys any request and they'll play it--like a living jukebox! My friends and I had a ball. Food is very creative and a real treat. Fish dishes are lush, man, that pineapple upside-down cake, oh baby! Watch out for the Zombies, they live up to their name... Anyway, just wanted to say hi, and I'm glad to be here with all you cool cats.
