Maybe there are some stories about Rock-a-Hula type of music in there, but a cover should represent the ESSENCE of the subject matter of a book, which here is Exotica and Lounge music, as far as I understand...the polar opposite of electric guitar Rock'nRoll. And I should shut up because I haven't even seen the damn thing, so we'll just wait and meet back here when it is out. :)
