The song Midnight was written by Bruce Welch and Hank Marvin and was first released by The Shadows in 1961.. "F.B.I." is an instrumental rock tune recorded by the British group the Shadows and released as a single in February 1961. It spent 19 weeks in the UK Singles Chart reaching number 6 in mid-February and mid-March 1961.

Release and reception
"F.B.I." was written by the Shadows' Hank Marvin, Bruce Welch and Jet Harris, but due to complicated publishing contracts it was credited to their manager Peter Gormley. The actual composers' names never appeared on the credits. It was released as a single by EMI on the Columbia label, with the B-side "Midnight", written by Marvin and Welch. It was released in the United States and Canada in July 1961 on Atlantic Records with "The Frightened City", written by Norrie Paramor, as the B-side.

Reviewing for Disc, Don Nicholl described "F.B.I." as "a quick moving melody that may not quite live up to the implications of the title – but which is a very contagious thing all the same". He also wrote the "Midnight" "seems pretty obviously to have been inspired (consciously or not) by "Sleep Walker". The same sliding electric guitar technique is used for a similarly lazy melody".[6]

Theme From Shane

"Dance On!" is an instrumental by British group the Shadows, released as a single in December 1962. It went to number 1 on the UK Singles Chart and the Irish Singles Chart. A vocal version, with lyrics by Marcel Stellman, was recorded by British female vocalist Kathy Kirby, whose version reached number 11 on the UK chart in September 1963.

Release and reception
"Dance On!" was written by Valerie Murtagh, Elaine Murtagh and Ray Adams, better known for being the members of pop vocal group the Avons. It was released with the B-side "All Day", written by Bruce Welch and Hank Marvin. In the US and Canada, "Dance On!" was released with the B-side "The Rumble", written by guitarist Ike Isaacs.

Reviewed in New Record Mirror, "Dance On!" was described as sounding "rather reminiscent of Duane Eddy ... which soon falls into the jug-along formula that we're used to. Tuneful and exciting in parts, there's a lot of versatility involved in this one. Not as original as we expected though – but perhaps originality for this sort of group has been exhausted". Reviewing for Disc, Don Nicholl wrote that the song "beats a very infectious path and the side has a lot more to offer than their "Guitar Tango" dramaties".

Neo-Traditional instrumental surf guitar band, playing original arrangements of classic film and TV soundtracks...

Hey, I’m Louis Katz, a musician inspired by the timeless sounds of 60s rock, the poetic depth of Bob Dylan, the raw authenticity of Tom Petty, and the vibrant energy of surf guitar. I’ve always been drawn to the kind of music that tells a story, sparks emotion, and invites the listener to experience something bigger than just a catchy tune.

Though I haven’t performed at any venues or had the chance to work in a studio yet, my passion for music runs deep. Every day, I strive to push my creativity further, and I’m excited to take the next steps in my musical journey. My goal is to collaborate with like-minded artists and musicians—kindred spirits who share a love for authentic, soul-driven music. Together, I believe we can elevate our sound to the highest level imaginable, creating tracks that not only resonate with audiences but leave a lasting impact.

I’m just getting started, and I’m looking for fellow creatives who want to be part of that journey. Whether it’s jamming on new ideas, writing songs, or eventually recording and performing, I’m ready to take things to the next level. Thanks for stopping by my SoundCloud, and I hope we can create something incredible together!

I have a Surf and Instro Music Addiction!
