Mahalo, Scott. See youz soon too, man. Dr. Zarkov - It's a deal. Here are some shots of the guest musicians, as promised... Mr. Jimmy Virani, International Theremin Virtuoso. 'nuff said! Mr. Jack Aldrich, the NW's Big Kahuna of the Lap steel/Hawaiian guitar. The sounds that this man came up with. Wonderful. And Mr. Alika Lyman, great-nephew to Arthur, completely steals the show on a few songs. He's WAY ahead of the game with his skills. Needless to say, I think most of you know the likes of Dave "Squid" Cohen & Mark Riddle/Marty Lush, so you know their kissers & their crazy talents. JC Harris, upright bass- forgot to take a pic, but here's his link - http://www.jchmusic.com/ and Cudra Clover sent her tracks from Maui. But you can catch her cool shows at http://cudraclover.podomatic.com/ It was fun and a true honor to record with these amazing musicians. Mahalo to them and to you all for your support~ More info coming soon~! Cheers Andy/Tiki Joe's Ocean http://www.tikijoesocean.com NEW CD COMING AUGUST 7th...

I played the trombone back before the Ice Age - a little similar in that there are no "stops" on the slide, you have to adjust pitch as you play

T TikiTomD Grand Member (6 years) Flagler Beach, FL Joined: Sep 20, 2009 Posts: 700	T TikiTomD Posted posted on Sat, Aug 7, 2010 5:34 AM It was a real treat to find my copy of this CD in the mailbox last night, and I was even more pleased when I popped it into the player... I really dig this album, from the cover art to the rich instrumental play and fast-paced rhythm in every track. Each contributing element comes through with great depth and crystal clarity. Especially love the other worldliness of the theremin in "Islands in Orbit", as well as the percussion and lushness (yes, Marty Lush-ness) throughout. Thanks, Andy, for another wonderful composition, finely expressed through a superb ensemble of talented musicians. Tom [ Edited by: TikiTomD 2010-08-07 07:19 ]

Amazing songwriting and playing, and great guests. First listen has been in a less-than-tiki environment (in a minivan doing errands), so tonight I'll listen outside on the Aloha Deck with a rum drink in hand.

I bought all 3 CDs in one shot, because I liked what I heard on both Koop Kooper's Cocktail Nation and Digitiki's Quiet Village. The latest one I had to put in the track names by hand but that's a small price to pay to listen to this music.

Australian friend of Tiki Joe’s Ocean, Rohan, who goes by the handle “Careless Navigator,” put together a nice video recalling the night when Shag came to town last month for an event held at the stunning Boyd House in a suburb of Melbourne. He asked to use “Under the Midnight Sun,” the lead-off track on the new Exotica/Latin/Lounge project and he honored the musicians of TJO with a video capturing the feel of the evening within this classic mid-century pad. Check it out here on his terrific website - http://carelessnavigator.com/adventures-in-paradise/2010/09/cn-goes-to-a-mid-century-soiree-at-the-walsh-st-boyd-house/ Cheers~ Andy The all new Exotica~~Latin~~Lounge CD on sale now!

Great pairing! I didn't realize how popular you are all over the world! Congrats. The new CD is my favorite so far Andy - it's got a lot of texture and I enjoy the guest musicians as well. The theramin(sp?) is so eary-sounding - I would not have thought to add it to Exotica but it brings out the mystical side of Tiki music. I'm sure glad I got my copy early on - I hear you ran out there for a while! Excellent! "Something, something, something, Dark Side, something, something." [ Edited by: beadtiki 2010-09-12 18:39 ]

Love to the family! Mahalo Regan- Agreed, Virani's theremin certainly adds a whole new mood to the songs he's in. Very happy to have him with TJO on this one. And yeah, you must be talking about leaving Oasis with one single "demo" copy on hand. Very cool thing to have happen. Thank you Taboo Island! Paul- hahaha. I feel the same way.
