Very cool! After many years of playing country and western swing, surf/exotica is a field that I find fascinating and a welcome change of pace. Thanks for sharing!

I recorded this Surfy version of Jezebell a few years ago, improvising over a Karaoke track. Just goofing around, really.

I'm very fond of 50s Exotica, Surf guitar and Island movie themes. I trace this genre from Pagan Love Song 1929, to Paradise Isle 1937. Moon Of Manakoora 1937. Bali Hai 1949. Love Song Of Kalua 1951. Adventures In Paradise 1959. Haere Mai Na (Bounty movie)1962. Leah, Orbison 1962, and now this one, Strictly Polynesian 1962.
Don't go in the water after lunch. You'll get a cramp and drown. - Mother.
