I'm just throwing this out there for what it's worth.
There have been plenty of great releases of current artists producing new releases of exotica music.
This is a song I've had a long love affair with, written as a steel guitar instrumental previous to the original exotica music period and was recorded often by many steel guitarists. There are a number of versions of it up on Youtube, although this one is my personnal favorite.
It seems to me it would be a wonderful song for someone (or several someones) to redo and create an exorica version for their CD. The song isn't widely known in either exotica or Hawaiian music circles, but I'd like to see what someone would do with it as an exotica number.
