From the back cover: The exotic setting of a Polynesian paradise - with the exquisite flavor of authentic Polynesian dishes - is the background for the unique artistry of Tommy Johnson. Tommy Johnson and The Ma-Kiki Club are synonymous with one another. One just doesn't think of one without the other. Tommy came to the Ma-Kiki at the Holiday Inn in Huntington, W. Va., for a 30 day engagement in May of 1969. He's still playing there and his fans and the owners hope that it's a permanent arrangement.
