Scottes...maybe Surf is more what you're looking for to accompany your mai tai :)

Try that Blue Hawaiians CD I mentioned, you won't regret it. AND, of course, enjoy your cocktail with The Tikiyaki Orchestra CD as well :wink:

I agree, but like Glenda the good witch said to Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz " It's always best to start at the beginning" so check out The Shadows out of England in the late '50's early '60's.

Besides the usual Dick Dale & The Ventures there are a ton of great modern surf bands and some have a bit of carry over exotica influence. I was just turned on to Crazy Al's band Ape.

Some of my fav surf bands are:
Aqua Velvets
Blue Hawaiians
Blue Stingrays
The Eliminators
Los Straightjackets
Vera-Tones
Pollo Del Mar
Mel-Tones
And my most favorite of all are The Mermen
