(I was going to post the Annette version but this one was way cooler)

More proof positive that the Tonga Hut is the epicenter of the Tiki Revival movement when it comes to art, music, mixology, and historic Tiki street cred.

The Tonga Hut is the Hong Kong Cafe to DTBC's Madame Wong's (for anyone who gets that Punk Rock reference). :D

And... If this is the direction that the Revival is going, then I'm on board the train....

And here's another piece of the Tiki/Latin puzzle cross-over that I just discovered. That main guy on the vibes (Julius Wechter ?), I think he played with Martin Denny (replacing Arthur Lyman !!)
