Dreamin' On A Cloud

One famous group from the 60s that has escaped my attention is the Tornados. The main reason for that being the
fact that in almost all of their recordings the melody was played on a keyboard.

However, this tune is one that appeared on their '62 EP "The Sounds of the Tornados" and is guitar based.

I believe that Alan Caddy usually played a Gretsch so I played the lead on my Duo Jet.

I hope that you enjoy it.

Roger - that sounds great. I would say better than the original.

Best wishes

I'd never heard that until now. Most enjoyable. Has all the ingredients of a good guitar instrumental.

That's a new one on me too Roger. A lovely sound and well played.

A very nice rendition Roger, not played that often but a good melody.
Composer credit is Heinz Burt, however I don't think he ever came up with anything else
instrumentally wise?

He IS acknowledged as co-arranger on "Digging My Potatoes" :shock: a U.S. hit for The Tornadoes. Thats all I could find.
