"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)

"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff

Lynn...reality, what a concept; Sid & Marty Kroft's stage show, for about a year here, at the same time that Eddie Cano, The Standells and The Bobby Fuller Four were house bands (corner of Santa Monica Boulevard @ Crescent Heights). Dancing in two rooms, skinny ties, this is what I refer to as "P.J.'s vibe." For Sid & Marty, it was The New York Worlds Fair, Ed Sullivan Show, Puf'n'Stuff, Lidsville and The Bugaloos next... but it all broke outta this supreme Hollywood twist joint, '64/'65.
