  • umm...... your notes say the 500th anniversary radio broadcast...... did Marconi know about this? Talk about being ahead of your time ! ! ! ! ! !

    Adding this to my 'Martin Denny - Exotica' playlist. Two hours of nonstop Martin Denny if you click 'play all'. The Waitikis are so true to his style, I know he would be honored ! ! Thanks for posting.

  • I listen to retro Cocktail all the time... thanks for the music and your insightful commentary Darrell. Great job Waitiki!!!!
