As for Tiki or not, I would consider what we do Tiki but only bordering on "Exotica" What's interesting lately is that since setting up the European Steel Guitar Forum,Click here I've found a lot of new friends in Europe that were familiar with my EMI albums. They sold quite well in Holland and Indonesia which probably explains why we're one of the very few NON Indonesian groups to be invited to the Grand Pasar Malam and Tong Tong Fair. Thanks to our newly found international friends and contacts, Pat and myself have been honoured to be invited and requested to play (as the Waikiki Islanders) at the Tong Tong Fair, at the Pasar Malam in Den Haag, May 25 AND 26. I've also been booked to give a workshop/seminar on Hawaiian Guitar. The Tong Tong Fair in The Hague is the biggest Eurasian fair in the world. In 2008 it was held for the 50th time - a golden jubilee, with 133,000 visitors! Click HERE for the web site It's part, and only part of the even bigger Pasar Malam Besar. :o Click HERE for the web site What's special as far as Pat and myself are concerned is that the protocol is that USUALLY only Indonesian musicians and artists are booked to play, we understand from Gerrit Venema that this move is most unusual, he says we should be honoured, and we are for sure.. So it's the Lei of Emeralds Show with our dear friends Rene, Nora, Jan and all, on the May 5th and then home for gigs, and then BACK to Den Haag for the fair.. (Thank God for bio diesel and 55mpg) :roll: http://www.chanos-isgf.org/ForumESG/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=125 Steelies do it without fretting ! [ Edited by: basilh 2009-03-10 10:34 ]
