Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Music Deaths: Bo Winberg, Member of Instrumental Group Spotnicks


BO WINBERG, 80

Died January 3, 2020

Lead guitarist with Swedish instrumental group Spotnicks.

Together with the Shadows and the Ventures they are counted as the most influential instrumental bands in the 1960s.    Famous for wearing space suits on stage.  No U.S Top 100 songs, but had four Top 100s in U.K.

I'd never heard of them, but check them out on You Tube.  Really fine instrumentals.
