Brian King _______________________________________________________________________________ Subject: Re: where da tiki bars in vegas? From: exotica@xmission.com at FILM-INTERNET-BURBANK Date: 6/27/96 6:37 PM As soon as you get there call the Sheraton Desert Inn as you might be lucky enough to catch Keeley Smith & Sam Butera in the lounge...also check the lounge at the Riveria as sometimes the Treniers perform there. Always there and always a great choice - the current Las Vegas lounge King is at the Continental (a few blocks off the strip) The Fabulous Cook E Jar! Bars I recommend: The Benihana Village in the Las Vegas Hilton is a real hoot for atmosphere The bar in the middle of the MGM has a talking Foster Brooks robot !!! On Monday or Tuesday nights at the Imperial Palace they have a luau dinner show. You gotta check out the Stratosphere Tower as I'm sure they've got a bar at or near the top.

It looks from the packaging that this was originally a 78 but I don't know that. Other artists on this record include Les Paul and Mary Ford, Buddy Cole and Gloria Wood, Nat King Cole etc. Soul of a People which has been mentioned here before is a bit more serious as it is Hebraic Chants blasphemously (they should only be performed by men!) performed fairly true to genre with great orchestration by Harold Hal Mooney This is on Capitol L8287 and believe me I've looked any one know of any others??

There is a new beer bar called Lava Lounge in the hip part of downtown which strives for a Tiki motif. 13 Coins in downtown near the Space Needle and at the airport is classic leather boothed steakhouse - sit at the bar in the restaurant (not in the bar) and you'll see what I mean by leather. My Suzie's is a former Polynesian restaurant now inhabited by winos. Patty Summers (aka Pink Lady after the house drink) under the sidewalk at the Pike market. Owner operated lounge act with tow guests that always sit at the front of the stage EVERY night. Sorry Charlie's is where the older loungers go to ply their trade in a real family atmosphere. Cyclops Cafe is neat. It's near the Lava Lounge. Leilani Lanes is a Tiki bowling alley that has lost its exotic feel but not all of the Tikis. Moe's has a good lounge night called "Shaken Not Stirred" Russ Schiedelman of Organ and Bongos fanzine is the loungemeister in Seattle and dj Terrence Gunn Check out the Tiki News for a full Seattle report in a few issues.

So far, the best places I'm found for exotica and space age pop records in DC are Baltimore, Frederick, MD, and Virginia Beach, VA--in other words, somewhere else. That's not to say that you can't find good stuff if you periodically check the Salvation Army, Goodwill, and other thrift stores. Orpheus Records on M St NW has a very large collection across a range of genres, but they're priced at book values or higher. The Second Story Books warehouse in Rockville MD probably has the largest collection, with everything priced at $2 a record. I found the quad version of "Que Mango" ("Latin Holiday") the last time I checked there. Wonder Books in Frederick is another good source. But overall, DC is no great shakes when it comes to exotica. And if the store scene is bad, the choices on radio are even worse. The leading NPR station features **THREE** hours of bluegrass at the prime evening commute time. There is no alternative programming to be found. Bring your own tapes.

Good liner notes by Denny and the packaging is impressive. The problem is that I had to return it because CD looked fairly abused. It was scratched and had someone's fingerprints on it. I also noticed that Scamp uses that shitty EMI pressing plant to produce its CDs. I have had problems with other CDs manfactured by EMI in the past and have found their qualitity control to be dismal. I don't see how they can get away with it. I'm returning mine and hoping that I can get a clean copy when it comes in the store's next order. Do you know what's going on Ashley?
