"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

It was great to meet and play with you guys at the Last Concert Cafe!

Just wanted to let you know how much we've been enjoying your CD. Especially your version of "Fraulein" is wonderful...we hit repeat and played it all the way from Amarillo to Oklahoma...

Thanks for the beautiful driving music. Gonna put it on a mix for Dave's dad who is sick in the hospital with leukemia (if you don't mind us putting it on there).

Thanks so much & hope to see you again sometime,

Lisa & Dave
