"And Skip, what in the world makes you think IZ iz Tiki !? You can be a great fan of his, and play his music in your home bar til dawn, please - but where is he "Tiki"? IZ is real, Tiki is not"

Ha! I would have thought it to be Jeff that would have gone nutz about that one.:)
I never did get the whole Korla Pandit or Yma Sumac thing.
Korla Pandit is a snooze fest and I can't tell what makes Sumac more tiki than say
carmen Miranda.
Sumac did the record Voice of the Xtabay but then she was the Peruvian Princess, Peru is that tiki?
Or more of an Inca type thing.
"IZ is real, Tiki is not"
Maybe this is why Korla Pandit and Yma Sumac are more tiki because they were both not real.:)
And you are right it is more of a what I like thing.
Bet they play more IZ at La Mariana than Korla Pandit or Yma Sumac.

Heck what do I know I play Thin Lizzy at my bar.
