Sorry to hear we'll be without him now, Don Tiki will never be the same.

As you know, we have some very important gigs at the end of the year here in Honolulu and at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in LA. We have a few people in mind and we'll let you know if it works out to save the unique and Forbidden World of Don Tiki. Aloha, FF

I still have Fritz's last message to me on my phone. He was an amazing front man. The best in new exotica / lounge I think. Don Tiki had a big Christmas show at the Disney Hall is Los Angeles planned. I hope Don Tiki can go on. This is an amazing portrait my friend Daerick Rick Gross did of Fritz (Delmar DeWilde).
