And in case you're wondering, that's Doc Martin on the Bigsby steel.

Once - back in the 60s when someone slipped him some electric punch at a love-in.

I've always had a fondness for drum solos that result in the drummer leaving the stage.

Jussi:

You gotta love the Tielmans!

They were completely unheard in the USA. How well known were they in Europe in the 50s? I cannot recall seeing their records offered for sale on collector lists 30 or 40 years ago, but maybe I just passed them by?

Here they are with George de Fretes on steel, roaring on "Tomi Tomi":

Here are two pix; the first with George de Fretes:

I think the Tielman Brothers lived and worked in Germany in the 60's. I know a female relative of them, who lives in my area. Jan Ackerman was also a band member at some time. Maybe some dutch forumites can say more?

Their version of Ramona was pretty popular in Finland, I have the 45' somewhere. I don't think they ever performed here but I might be wrong too...
