In 1962 I was 10, my dad got me a guitar. Yes, The Beatles were coming to the music world to do what no 4 lads did. But being a guitar player there is not a better band anywhere. I was driven to excel with my guitar. The Ventures were my all time favs. Now reaching 70, when my spirits need a lift, " Walk Don't Run" plays. Nokie, Bob, Don, and Mel R.I.P. God Speed with deep sorrow, miss you guys.

2/3/2022 I'm sitting here listening to music I loved back some 63 years ago, and except for a few, I remember them all. They were my favorite band and I had every album they made until around 1969. The last one, I believe, had a cover of "Mighty Quin", one of the only albums where they actually had some vocals. So many great hits, so many great covers, and so many great memories Rip Don Wilson, thanks for all the great music. ;-)

@@edwardlopez1499 At the modern level of technical solutions, you can easily be offered both tube and semiconductor solutions with any of the conceived sounds, even a five-watt class A, but at the same time with unlimited power and volume and the finest color you want. And this is from the mass standard models. Now is the new golden age of traditional sounding on a technical basis. On sale there are semiconductor amplifiers with emulation of any processes in each of the modes, as well as tube amplifiers with very serious models of dynamic heads up to 101.7 dB / W / m and at an easily achievable 30 W. And at the same time, mind you, they will be indistinguishable in all volume modes and will not be your choice of settings. I do not want to be accused of advertising, so I am withholding the names of these manufacturers, and there are several of them.

Thanks to the Japanese whose idolization of the Ventures in those years 60's and on... kept them boys on their toes! Some of the best live concerts ever. I was born in 1950 and dug the guitar sounds before the Beatle invasion, got distracted for a lonnng time. But now discovering what the Ventures have done even while less popular in the West, just blows my mind. They deserve a place in the rock world, at the top.

I was there at the STARWOOD, took some photos that can be seen at the Mosrite Forum, and my photos almost match the ones appearing on the cover of Guitar Player (Sep. 1981), saw myself in the audience front right. Afterwards, I went backstage to have the guys autograph something I made but was stopped at the door and the guy said I couldn't come in. When Mel Taylor, the drummer, heard him and saw me he told the guy that I was alright. Mel and I stood in a cashier's line at Robinsons Dept Store. Mel escorted me to each member's small dressing room and all 4 autographed my item. I was in musical heaven! And I have the photos to prove it!

A more intense version than this one (a tape still exists). It’s one of those things that truly needed to be witnessed live
