After reading this thread, and because I'm too young to have experienced tiki in its Hey Day, I have a question:

Did restaurants play music back in the day? Sure, I know some had live shows.. but were the eating establishments equipped with speakers so that music could be piped in? Also... what about tiki bars? Did the average tiki bar have a juke box in it? I don't recall seeing juke boxes in any of the interior shots of tiki bar/restaurant post cards I have.

I've never thought of this before, but is tiki music basically whatever people played at home in their tiki bar basements and backyard luaus?
