This entire night was Frank’s idea. After he put so much effort into making the “White Winter Wonderland” night in December a blast, Carey and I agreed that we should just have Frank host a night each season and see what he does with it. His spring event was a tiki theme, which I was a little skeptical about until the moment I saw him unloading an entire van crammed with tiki decorations into the Loving Touch. The place was transformed, and Frank was the night’s mascot, walking around cawing like the tropical bird that he is.
Frank brought a handwritten list of the tunes he would play from his record collection, and he also brought Ray Thompson, who did most of the guest DJing with me. The whole night was a great combination, with the pineapple slice on top being the Fiendish Thingies fantastic set in the forest. You can listen to the full deejay set below, starting with an entire side of “The Best of Martin Denny” played on top of a side of ocean sound effects. More pictures and full setlist after the jump.
