Your instrumental surf band is playing a dance gig. What are some good slow dance numbers suitable for a surf band?
Beach Boys' "Surfer Girl" and "In My Room" come to mind. Suggestions welcome.

Blue Venus and Surfer's Life by the Blue Stingrays. If I'd stop buying old guitars to fix, I might actually learn to play. |

That one is particularly beautiful, the melody in this song is really something. Love the version the Volcanics did on their recent Christmas EP too. And for the metal guys, check out the Nightwish version, best of all for me. —Yannick Lead Guitar in Blackball Bandits : https://blackballbandits.bandcamp.com/ |
