He formed that rarity, a rock duo, with a fellow Swede, Janne Karlsson., The two toured regularly from '67 througsh '69, and released three albums, now something of collectors' pieces. Few British musicians of the time were unaware of them; Jimi Hendrix not only jammed regularly with them but invited them to tour with his "Experience". Bo split to concentrate on writing.
