Eastern Time, on Fairfax Public Access/WEBR Radio, which can be heard on the Internet at: http://www.fcac.org/webcasting/webcast.htm For this week’s show, the Doctor took all you hepcats and kittens, swingerettes and swingeroos on a dazzling jazz journey into the pulchritudinous and pulsating pleasures of this mid-century modern art form. In addition to harkening back to the rattan and bamboo bedecked rumpus rooms of the past, those who have seen the photos of my home Tiki lounge on Flickr are well aware that my ideal of a Tiki Culture includes the swank and cool moderne architectural, art, musical and decorative styles that burst forth in the 1940s and 1950s. In my view, there is nothing that goes better with a tall, cool Tiki drink than the sounds of good jazz, as long as you keep the mood light.
