I was born in Sarasota and grew up during that period and loved every minute of it. That song kind of sums up what it was like in our paradise, by the "Lido Shore".
My mother worked at the Sarasota Chamber of Commerce in the late 50's and early 60's and I can remember this song very well. It was a promotional jingle that was all about getting people to come down to Sarasota. (Imagine that - trying to get people to come to FL!) It was a 45 and she had several copies. Great stuff and a good jingle too 'cause I still remember the lyrics and melody.

Someone should find the old Bahi Hut jingle. I used to have it on reel when I worked at the radio stations out on City Island.
