I was not able to see what was going behind us as we were playing. Does anyone have any pictures they can post? I was happily surprised to see the number of people willing to come inside and enjoy some surf, spy-fi, spaghetti western, surf exotica and anything else we played. Most of the band performances were recorded Friday and Saturday. Other highlights of the weekend; Art-dog showed the Gilligan’s Island episode with the voodoo Tiki god. I was laughing and flashing back to those days when the show was on at 4:30 pm after school on channel 30 (more magic powder). Batman surfs the Joker which followed was the best. The buffet dinner was very enjoyable, as was the dinner show. I managed to purchase some interesting tiki items from the venders before having to move equipment, I saw much variety and craftsmanship. On the golden emcee voice of Jet Sterling - many try to match the swank and attention grabbing technique, but all fall short. All the bands were great – particularly Bamboo Saxotica and Fisherman (including go-go dancing!), and of course Waitiki. I’d like to say on behalf of 9th Wave, we had a great time, with so many wonderful memories on and off the playing field. Thanks to Bargoyle & those involved with the Ohana event publication for making Sandy’s article on the history of surf music look great, and not cutting it even though it was 3 pages long! After the North East Tiki Tour II, I wrote the tune Island of the Lost Tiki. This year has left me with high emotions (rum high - saturation) and I have already been inspired to write a new surfin tune, Poseidon’s Wave. It has been an honor and a privilege to have been able to attend and play alongside great bands, share the stage and party with the all who attended this year’s Ohana event. From the surf side, Mahalo
