VERY...strong...exception. But if everyone insists it's true, then so be it: trilobites and cart racing are Tiki, and so is Hank Williams. Mr. Ho, your stuff is pure exotica, completely influenced by the old school, so whatever influences you may have, my 30+ years as a muso tell me this is not exactly some shatteringly new approach. That's intended as compliment BTW. Very nice pure-drop exotica. So, whether or not you know it or are happy about it: you have internalized and made use of something that does seem after all to be codifiable.
