Hawaii Five-O dotdotdotdot
Surf (Instrumental)

Bass driven, this tune has an almost Ben Vaughn-like melody, with an ominous overtone. The sax and keyboard harmonies are nice, as is the Middle Eastern key solos. This is a sure fire pleasure craft. This tune could easily be adapted to a band like Planet Seven, or Los Straitjackets.
