I still like those traditional Polynesian sounds, like those found in the Hawaii Calls series. And the Lawrence Welk "Sounds of the Islands" - very good record...I've mentioned that before. But once you fish through Mitch Miller, Al Hurt, and all of those other people I have NO IDEA who they are, you are just too exhausted to take notice at anything that is NOT the TRIO. I spent 3+ hours looking at thousands - no exaguration - THOUSANDS of records. I found NO Denny, NO Lyman...one Baxter (Not really exotica) and I think I only walked outta there with 5 records. (All Hawaiian stuff and the Baxter). I guess when I think of lounge music for a tiki bar, I think of Kahiki and they always had that soothing steel guitar type stuff playing softly. :sheckymug:
