"The very fact that Hapa haole and exotica is mellow and sleepy is usually good enough for me...that's most of the charm, actually."

I agree, at the right time.
The start of the night is not the right time though, cuz that stuff can put ya to sleep.

When I had my restaurant I would play all kinds of music, on rainy days I would play slow
Dean Martin that kind of stuff, it slowed the place down!
People ate slower, wait staff moved slower, time stood still, fine for a rainy day.
If I wanted seats and needed to get people out, I would play Van Halen Eruption it worked!
My mom used to hate it when a baby would cry in our small diner till I said watch how the seats
turn over once that kid starts crying. Ching!!

Don't get me wrong I don't like the wild frat boy "fun" I see at some events as I'm much
more low key than that, and so is my brand of tiki.
But If Yuma Sumac and Korla Pandit is all ya got, I'll take Thin Lizzy!
