SET 2 — NEW ALBUM FEATURE: PARADISE LOST AND FOUND

Here's an interesting new disc that was released late in 2007 by the good folks at Flea Market Music... your source for all things ukulele. Flea Market Music recently discovered a treasure trove of Island-inspired songs written in the 1950s and early '60s by well-known LA studio musicians Perry Botkin Sr., Mel Henke, Paul Conrad, Ken Darby, and others. Many of the tunes were originally recorded by Hawaiian exotica king, Arthur Lyman. Paradise Lost & Found features new recordings of these songs by Waitiki, a group familiar to Thrifting for Tunes listeners. Rounding out the project are a few songs written by Flea Market Music founder Jim Beloff. Other guest artists on the disc include uke sensation Abe Lagrimas, Jr., Chris Kamaka, Four Preps lead singer Bruce Belland, and King Kukulele & The Friki Tikis.
