Aha gotcha,
there have always been instrumental songs in lots of styles over
the years. Back in the early to mid 1900's they were all over
radio, up into the 70's. As for the Rockabilly to surf coneection,
it's gotta be the twangy guitar sound. Same could be said for some
new wave also think devo,flock of segulls, Bow wow wow, etc etc.
Surf is a subliminal thing with the non surf listener.
