Well, if you ever want to stay till the end, I'd be more than happy to give you a ride back to the greatest state in the union. (jersey) I live right over the bridge in Englewood Cliffs, but I could always give you a lift to where you're going.

Also, if you ever decide to by some "modern" exotica, (you might actually have to buy a CD!) definately check out Combustable Edison. I'd recommend "I, Swinger" for starters. Their later stuff gets more trip hop influenced, and might not be your thing, but their earlier stuff is truly exotic. Also, our friends "Ape" from California, featuring Crazy Al on vocals and wood choping. And certainly the band "Tipsy," thought again they have a slight trip hop influence. The older stuff; Les Baxter, Arthur Lyman, Martin Denny, is great too. But the true king of exotica is Eden Ahbez. Check out "Eden's Island." Inside the record is a short biography of his life; which is truly fascinating. Anyway, good luck!! Let me know if you're coming out to Otto's sometime, and I'll make you a CD! We're also going to be at Waikiki Wally's on Thursday April 22nd. See ya' around...
