Anyone remember the Ventures?
« on: November 15, 2012, 08:40:29 AM »

This is pretty cool...... Who knew The Ventures, a rock band from the 50’ s and 60’s? Their original 17-year old drummer left after 8 months and went into the Air Force.

Nice job, General! (Uh...you DO have to work on your fills, though. They sound like something out of the Fifties.)

That was nice. Walk don't Run was a staple of our garage band in the late 60's. Think I could still play it.

"Liberalism is an essentially feminine, submissive world view. Perhaps a better adjective than feminine is infantile. It is the world view of men who do not have the moral toughness, the spiritual strength to stand up and do single combat with life, who cannot adjust to the reality that the world is not a huge, pink-and-blue, padded nursery in which the lions lie down with the lambs and everyone lives happily ever after."

I love them. I remember my older brothers playing their records back in the 60's I have some LPs with their songs on them along with others and I have two or three of their CD's. Los Strait Jackets are the closest to the Ventures in sound I have heard.

There was a time many many moons ago where I played with two drummers. As a percussionist, I thought it was cool.
