I'm happy to know this sight exists! I was turned on to it tonight by Big Tiki Dude as he DJ'd at the Tunga room in North Hollyweird. My interest in the Tiki scene is primarily the music. I got hooked on the lounge/ bachelor/ space age scene in the '90's. My particular interest is in what I call the early "stereo exploitation" records. I love the imaginative arrangements and excellent stereo fidelity of the Enoch Light Command label albums, Esquival - the great genius of the era, and of course all the great Drasnin, Baxter, Lyman and Denny exotica records.

That Beachcomber Trio at Kahiki '65 that Lee Joseph put out was a great treasure. I was happy to see more detail on the release here. I'd love to see more detail posted about the discovery of the tape. I'll be sure to ask that on the appropriate string.

I've got my Username set as 'Nokie' (in tribute to the great Ventures guitarist) but my name is Marty. See y'all inside!
