Did you ever hear of Indorock? The Tielman Brothers?

2. Thanks! As I said in the OP, I'm just learning about them myself, but I'm really impressed

by what I've seen and heard so far.

And I edited the OP after first posting it to link to Wikipedia's article on Andy Tielman, and to remove the word-in-parentheses probably from the earlier paragraph about Dutch artists influenced by the Tielman brothers, where I'd said they probably influenced Golden Earring. A fan on Steve Hoffman's forum had noted that George Kooymans had apparently copied many of Andy Tielman's moves, and I had to agree after seeing the first video above. But I hadn't yet heard or read anything mentioning him as an influence on them, though the members of Golden Earring, who grew up in The Hague, couldn't have been unaware of them, and I read somewhere that George was taken along to clubs by an older relative when he was a kid (George had started playing guitar in 1956, when he was 8). Then I saw GE lead singer Barry Hay mentioned in that Wikipedia article about Andy. And I did more googling and found out that the guitar George had used when recording "Radar Love" was one that had previously belonged to Andy; George had bought it in 1969. (George had another guitar just like it, a spare, but he sold that in 1976 and Joe Bonamassa acquired that recently.)
