Any 1 know where this toon comes from that The Reflections play @ Smania 2012?
I searched the net and couldn't find anything about it.

TIA,

I *think* it's just Dark man, and was a hit for a Scandinavian group in the 60s?

This sounds more like an early Ventures toon from the Bob Bogle on lead guitar era.

How they ever overlooked this toon is beyond me.

Thanks for posting & nicely played.
Do you have any more links of you guys playin?


I dunno how The Ventures missed covering this toon in the early 60's.
The original actually sounds like it should have been played on a Jazzmaster by Bob Bogle and the drumming feels more Howie Johston'ish.
