The momentum of enthusiasm behind "Under the Midnight Sun", from August on, was quite overwhelming, so thanks so much for that kind of support. My hugs & gratitude goes out to the members of Tiki Joe's Ocean, whose talents made this album so unique. With that, MAHALO to drummer/percussionist Dave "Squid" Cohen, Vibraphonist Mark Riddle, Theremin virtuoso Jimmy Virani, Flutist Cudra Clover, Hawaiian Lap-steel guitarist Jack Aldrich, and indeed, the gifted guitarist who brought homemade Exotica skills to TJO, Alika Lyman. (You did your Uncle proud, Alika!) More love to Mr. Ken Ruzic for creating a most beloved album cover. Special thanks to Randy Wong of the Waitiki 7, for his support of our project. We were honored to share this category with you guys (and gal). Congrats to them for taking home the "Adult Contemporary" award for "New Sounds of Exotica." Much love and appreciation from myself and all the members of Tiki Joe's Ocean! Cheers! Andy http://www.thehawaiimusicawards.com/theHawaiiMusicAwards/Home.html
