Aloha,

Another wonderful scan that cannot be cleaned up to my standards at this time...

From the Queen's Surf Gardens and moved to the Hawaiian Hut.

I WILL deliver everything I have promised at Don The Beachcomber in Huntington Beach for the first time EVER (and perhaps the only time,) on September 4, 2011. Incredible eyecandy, sharp commentary, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, YOU will HEAR for yourself the actual, verified, VOICE OF DONN "Don the Beachcomber" BEACH at his 1957-8 Sunday Feast of the Islands LUAU.

I challenge ANYONE ELSE in the WORLD to provide this exact AUDIO. Come to my event and ONLY you will hear him speak. I played this clip for Jeff "Beachbum" Berry and he was FLOORED.

To hear Donn's voice, (OUR HERO) and the genesis of all of this Tiki stuff we NOW know, respect, and love, is quite AMAZINGLY INCREDIBLE. I don't really know how else to tell you HOW IMPORTANT these few minutes of AUDIO are from a historical standpoint. You must be at this Event.

'nuff said,

best,

Phillip
