Just heard this one on Internet radio. No playlist. ☹ Definitely '60s. Twangy electric guitar/echo chamber effect. Possibly The Ventures or The Shadows, or The Tornadoes—one of those early electronic bands. No lyrics that I know of, but the first line of the melody sounds like Johnny Cash’s “Were You There When They Crucified My Lord?” With regard to the remainder, the closest tune I can think of is “Sleepwalk.” Faster tempo, though. Any ideas? ---

All that comes to mind is Duane Eddy. Have you checked YouTube yet? ---

I damned near choked on my beer! :eek: For a second there, I thought I’d been transported back to the Bicentennial. A little more skin, and that scene could have been cut from a period porn flick; all of the men look like they’d just walked off the set of one! Definitely the sound I’m looking for, though! 🙂 ---

Not that he has that sound you describe, but [Johnny Smith: Walk, Don’t Run!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HwQxdrmwY8) has some cool stuff you might like. The Ventures went crazy with their version of [The Ventures “Walk Don’t Run”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owq7hgzna3E) Others worth checking out: Chet Atkins, Les Paul, Joe Pass and maybe another 100! 😃 [1956 HITS ARCHIVE: Honky Tonk (Parts 1 & 2) - Bill Doggett](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVGQqpVWX8M) ---
