A classic. In 75-77 Elvis was tired of going to studios to make records, so he turned the Jungle Room into a recording studio and cut his last records there. The green shag carpet on the ceiling was for sound proofing (so Lisa Marie or anyone else upstairs could get some sleep!). I visited Graceland 2 months ago, and I loved the Jungle Room. A classic.

Ken Pleasant is the grandson-in-law of Witco founder William Westenhaver (Ken married Westenhaver's granddaughter). Westanhaver has taught Ken everything he knows, and Ken has been selling his own tikis in the Witco style, and also some reproductions, for years now. He posts on Tiki Central as keigs20. Ken has a website in the works -- as soon as it launches, I'll be posting all about him and his great art! Luckily, there’s a truly ideal source for Witco replicas.

Pretty impressive that he nailed it. Well, except for goofing it up with all that Witco.
