Some folks really like to dump on Buffett... but he's a fantastic storyteller, and I suspect he or his music were a gateway to tiki culture for a good many folks too. This overlap is pretty interesting analysis, and makes a great music Venn diagram!

Jimmy was known to bring Martin Denny out for a quick version of "Quiet Village" - there's at least one recording of them doing it live. Had a colleague who'd fill her pickup with sand for tailgating out at his shows. That sounds just as bonkers and fun as any of our home bar scenarios.

Well done!
