When it comes to love of exotica, I am too, also an island. One of my friends actually thought my Martin Denny record was a Christmas album when I played it for him-sheees! My wife says she's getting tired of it- but she likes tikis and mai tais too, so she's willing to put up with it. Some of the Phillipino old timers here in Kauai still listen to exotica.
Sometimes, when conditions are perfect, when the cool trade winds greet the puffy orange clouds over bali hai at sunset, with Les Baxter on the cd player, and with my icy wet Tiki mug leering menacingly back at me-the Polynesia that never existed can indeed exist.

I also had read that this stuff was primarily produced by the legions of red diaper babies....

Folk music was very chic among the upper middle class liberals in the early Sixties.They considered rock and roll to be mindless pap and thus the huge cultural earthquake when Dylan went rock at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965.
The Folkies never forgave him for"selling out"but it signaled the death throes of the whole Folk music movement.

Dylan at some point along the way disparaged 'folk' music as being 'music for fat people'; Garrison Keillor has made a career out of that which Dylan mocked

While alot of that old stuff isn't THAT bad, IMHO, Dylan had a point. You do have to be a careful shopper in the music store

when Dylan went rock at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965.

I was there, the boos were loud and long but we stayed anyway.
Got to sit in a circle of 8 or 10 and listen to Lemon Jefferson, Son House singing Make me a pallet on your floor,
Death Letter and more ,played dulcimore with Richard Farina it was awesome.
Then went to war and things were forever different.

Exactly, one only has to volunteer for any kind of small town community theatre to know how dead on the movie is..and the amazing part is that most of the lines are ad libbed on set!
