yes thie truly was an accomplishment. I'm still trippin' from jus being asked to go to his house!! It hasen't sunk it yet.....this is wat it must feel like when you win da super bowl.

Dont worry Tiki Chris, I told him about all the exotic music lovers aroud the world are enjoying his music right now. He's very happy to be alive He said just to see it come back around because a lot of his old friends and band members have since passed away already. He is getting a BIG kick out of seeing the culture come back around. I hope live as long as he does to see it come back around again.

"tribal Wisdom" Sabina was in the air last night! He asked me if I was in a rush or had the time to listen to about 10% of what he had in that brain. I sed "YES SIR PREACH". He loves to talk and show his great vintage pictures. He had about another 20 OOOOOLD photo albums we didn't have time to look at. He said when I bring his tiki we gon talk mo story.

He's got signed pics from R. Kennedy, and all kinds of things. Just a remarkable man full of tiki culture treasures.

BK, that album hangs in his bedroom. He has the silver one to exotica on da other wall. I'll pass it on about da newer album. He loved my bamboo frame i maid so maybe if you give me that album I'll put it in a bamboo frame for him. what extras of his albums do you have?

He gave me a copy of his new CD called "the Intamate Martin Denny" it has the song he wrote for his wife called "I'll Love You Forever & Ever" it also has a lot of his classic hits. I don't think it's out in store yet? dont know?

anyways I can't wait to get started on his tiki because that means I get to go back and see some more great vintage pics and listen to him for hours and hours.

Mr. Denny turned Waikiki into the pardise that it was and still somewhat is with his hands on that piano. I would like to turn Waikiki back to those days too with my hands on my chizle and hammer. That is why I believe I'm here. I want to bring exotica back to this exotic island for our friends on the mainland to feel the old Hawaii.

Aloha
