379 Santo (1937- ) and Johnny (1941- ) “Sleep Walk” 1959

Santo and Johnny Farina’s father, “a serviceman, had found the steel guitar on C&W records very soothing when he was overseas. He encouraged his children to learn the instrument and was impressed when they wrote an instrumental, ‘Sleep Walk’…The record label and the publicity referred to a third composer, Ann Farina, who was supposedly a sister. This was a mistake—they did not even have a sister” (The Encyclopedia of Popular Music, 2006).
