This is a good point at which I want to inquire about a certain Martin Denny venue:

The Tiki Restaurant at the Villa Plaza, Washington? (state, I assume). Its number was JU. 8-2101

That is all the information I have. Has anybody seen anything, any paper ephemera from this place?

There was a poster on eBay many moonsago advertising Martin Denny's appearance at the Tiki Restaurant. Unfortunately, I was outbid at the time. I have a lo res pic from the auction somewhere.

I do remember the Kahiki playing Hapa Haole and Exotica music from as far back as the mid-eighties. Plus they had the Kahiki Trio which played a mix of Exotica and top tunes of the day from 1961 until 1978.

The not only pumped in music but they had a sound system set up strictly for sound effects for the thunderstorm room and other areas.

Nice discussion guys!!

Cheers and Mahalo,
