On this particular record, he is a "one-man-band" playing all the guitars. Blame Canada for this one...c1987. How could I pass on posting this one? The Tiki Serenaders were all employees of Honolulu's Tiki Transportation Company and while not singing, were chauffeuring around visitors in their fleet of late model limousines. A mix vocal group with a mix of Hawaiian & hapa-haole tunes.."Yellow Ginger Lei","Singing Bamboo", Na Ka Pueo","Pearly Shells", etc. And last but not least today, we take you to the Banyan Tree Room of the Hale Koa Hotel where "Tami's Hula Nanis" take you on an exotic journey through Polynesia. This was one of the longest running revues in Waikiki...there seem to have been SEVERAL of the longest running revues in Waikiki with LPs out..:) BTW, in case you're wondering, Tama is the guy to the left of the big drum...beating the logs.
