Maybe if we were more silly and more goofy, and wore funny costumes...maybe then we would be Tiki. But, Vintage Hawaiian music is not Tiki. Everyone knows! Palika spent his whole life growing up in Hawaii, spent his youth hanging out on the beach singing naughty songs on his ukelele to the tourist gals...knew Martin Denny and Arthur Lyman personally...but he ain't Tiki either! And neither am I!
