I understand where your coming from. I enjoy tiki and exotica. Ive traveled to the pacific islands and have a love for island culture. I think what I meant is that tiki culture fits into the whole island culture. I also get the whole island culture doesn't fit into tiki. I tend to combine them when i listen to music. I listen to a les baxter piece right next to a bob marley piece followed up by a calypso song. I apologize if i assumed others would feel that way. I do love exotica and polynesian pop. I hope to include that into tiki joe and the bamboo band through a couple of instrumental tracks. I will post them on here when they are finished and maybe they will get some better love. lol.
Anyways regarding the name. I've been going under the name TikiJoe for years as a dj. Heck my license plate on the car says tiki joe. I think the names and sounds are different enough not to cause confusion. Besides the other guy isnt even named joe. lol
