1st.
the Shadows and Ventures are not surf,
the Shadows are Euro Instro,
and while the Ventures played some surf songs, they have done many non surf songs also.
see their Carpenters,Jim Croce, Classical and Country albums.

2nd, Hawaii 50 was not originally done by the Ventures,
it was done by an orchestra for the TV show, then they covered it after.

there are many many surf songs that have a Hawaiian or Exotic/Exotica vibe.
I wish you would have come to me earlier about this.

and are you only doing old bands, or will there be new bands in the mix?

ahhhh, there is so much I want to add, but I need to go.
