Aloha Everyone! The Don Tiki tribute to Martin Denny was beyond words. It was the most incredible evening I have ever had. Gecko thanks for the wonderful island hospitality. I really appreciate all you did while I was on the islands. The taxi service, the La Mariana and the tour of the pad. You are truly a great artist and friend. Al and Shelley, you guys are the most fun people I could ever hope to hang out with while in Waikiki. Thanks alot for for the rides as well as the great tiki spirit. Fil, I didn't get to talk with you much but thanks for that mai tai during the Primitiva intermission. It was much needed since I was on an emotional roller coaster. The sight of Martin Denny playing "Quiet Village" with Augie Colon and Harold Chang brought tears to my eyes. I really miss the islands since I've been back on the mainland and will hopefully be returning next year for a much longer stay. Thanks again everyone for making this once in a lifetime event even more special by being in the presence of truly great friends. You guys are the best!
