2003 Jimmy announces his 'Tiki Time' tour. I begin to reinvestigate Tiki/Polynesia. It was then I stumbled across TikiCentral and joined.

I can relate to your post. Kind of reminds me of my experience with the Grateful Dead, as a fan of theirs in the '80s. Sure, music cogniscenti may have scoffed at the Deadhead craze, but as far as I'm concerned, the GD "pointed the way" for me to further investigate other areas that the Grateful Dead touched: Appalachian roots, Jug Band, R&B, Bluegrass, etc. They were a great "jumping off" point, as is Buffett (who also, if you pay attention, points in all sorts of directions, musically and literarily as well).

Guess I will take what I can get...

Well put!
