Favoriting Aloha Fridays: Playlist from July 31, 2020 Favoriting

Aloha" is a word found in all Polynesian languages meaning a spirit of loving togetherness. And that is what you will get every Friday morning as a rotating crew of Sheena's Jungle Room DJs (and special guests) spin three hours of relaxing exotica in all its forms, from the primitive to the Space Age. Can we get you something from the bar?

Sun Ra played at Myrons Ballroom in downtown L.A. in the early '80's. The show was put on by Poobah records in Pasadena. Before he died, Richard Reese, one of the organizers of the show told me how he had to drive the equipment van down the Pasadena Freeway whacked on acid. When the van was parked out on the street, one of the guys in Sun Ras band was banging some woman inside while he stood guard, peaking. I was inside the venue, and knew nothing of this till years later.

Linda, me too! Angeles Crest in the San Gabriel Mountains. The most important thing is to not look over the edge while driving. Stop the car, get out, and then take in the view.

I did watch the Kon Tiki documentary recently, so a balsa wood raft sounds grand.
