Aloha and thanks...

I think all started when i hung out in Los Angeles for two months back in the late nineties. Someone showed me some tiki stuff, then i discovered the art of Shag... then back home in switzerland i found my first "hand clapsed tiki mug" from the swiss mövenpick restaurant chain... from now on definitely infected with Tiki.
I started to collect Tiki Mugs, Tiki Statues, Masks, actually all things Tiki...

Music:
Music is another big thing in my life !
I collect vintage vinyl records from the fifties, sixties and some early seventies. Mostly Rhythm'n'Blues, Soul, Surf and Garage.
I am a DJ and I played guitar in a Garage- and Rockabilly Band.
favorite Tiki music I'd say Exotica, Hawaiian Swing/Jazz and some moody surf instrumentals. ... Sven Kirsten's The Sound of Tiki CD is great.

well, that was a little bit about me,

Mahalo and greetings from the European mainland
