Hi Michael:
I can't believe the lack of answers you've received, so here goes:
In 1999 when my band Longboard Ranch had just formed, the four of us decided on
a core list of Surf and Instro tunes, that would be recognizable to most pop
music fans, and a few slightly less obvious tunes, that we happened to
particularly like. The following is a pretty fair rendering of our early
repertoire, and you might find it a good starting point for you too. This is
pretty much the set list we played for several thousand milling people, at the
Glendale Cruise Night on July 27, 1999.
Best of luck and results in your musical endeavors!
Bruce D.
THE LIST:
Walk, Don't Run; Yellow Jacket; Bumble Bee Twist; Journey To The Stars; Hawaii
Five-O; Diamond Head -(THE VENTURES); Pipeline -(THE CHANTAYS); Penetration -
