For me as well, because as soon as I hear bird calls and the sound of vibes, "tiki bar" is what immediately comes to mind. With Hapa haole, what comes to mind is a vacation in waikiki during the 60's. But, my disclaimer is that I really don't like the old, very early hapa haole recordings much...I prefer the slick, produced versions (Like the Tavares band) that came a bit later, in stereo. I would have to say Hapa haole is my first love, followed VERY closely by exotica. But, as I have said before my first record album I listened to as a small 5 year old kid was Arthur Lyman, "taboo". I was indoctrinated into tiki a long time ago! Your book and some of the people on this forum just pushed me over the edge and now I am obsessed with tiki...like everyone else, I suppose.
