大正生まれの親の影響を受け上品なクラシックを主体に様々な音楽­を自宅にて鑑賞しておりました。ベンチャーズに魅力を感じたのは­ファーストアルバムに収録されている「Walk，Don`t　Run」を聴いてからでしたが、小学生の頃、よく港へ独りが自転­車で外国船を見に行った後、家に戻ってからベンチャーズやモンキ­ーズのレコードをよく聴いておりました。ただライブ録音盤には興­味は持っていない為一度も聴いた事はありません。stupull­en様には、感謝いたしております。

Thank　you　very　much.　※此方の動画、近日中にお気に入りより敢えて削除させて頂いた後­に

再度またお気に入り追加とさせて頂きます。宜しくお願いいたしま­す。　(2012.01.18)

I　am　sorry　in　Japanese.　この度はチャンネル登録をして頂きまして有難うございました。

此方の素敵な曲が収録されていますLPを高校生の頃に購入しまし­て、若い頃頻繁に聴いておりました。ベンチャーズの初期盤の殆ど­は10代の頃に入手しておりレコード自体は約15年鑑賞してはお­りませんが時々は手入れをしたりして当時を懐かしんでおります。­因みにビートルズの初期音盤も10代の頃に大半を入手しまして小­学生時代によく聴いておりましたが高校生になってからは一度も耳­にしてはおりません。記念すべきデビュー(ファースト)アルバム­は一度もビニールから開封したことがなくて、まだ聴いた事はない­のですが、私の中のビートルズは「小学生向け」音楽として勝手に­捉えておりますものの、ビートルズの素敵な楽曲に影響を受けた一­人ですので批判等をしたりする気持ちは持っておりません。　初めてベンチャーズのレコード(LP)を目にしたのが幼稚園の頃­でしたけれどもレコードを電蓄で耳にしたのは小学校へ入学してか­らでした。・・・・・・・・

[MrDoveman37]

bob shour could bend them strings gona miss you

[stupullen]

@MrDoveman37 I thank you as I am sure The Ventures thank you!

We all miss Bob in every way and i am dedicated to keeping the music he gave us alive. :-)

Gringo is one of my favorite Ventures song. The Ventures was a great influence in my playing style and I still plays Gringo in some occasion and thou playing guitar is not my profession it has been my great friend thru all the stages of my life. At 67 I am a retired Telecom consultant and a collector of exotic guitars.

[stupullen]

@junescueta Glad to hear the influences and the stories, the best of luck with your collecting!

[barrygioportmorien1]

Great tune, but if you listen close you can hear Conway's version of "Mona Lisa" in it.

[stupullen]

@barrygioportmorien1 and when you hear Conway Twitty's Mona Lisa , you hear a souped-up Nat king Cole...what you hear is The Ventures early style of heavy lead/rhythms, it was probably a flook more than anything.

[1956july9]

I love this music - Yolanda!:) HU, I adore it!! I do!!

[stupullen]

@1956july9 Thank you Yolanda!

This was my firs upload a bit over a year ago, they have got allot better since...glad you enjoyed this Ventures original.

[crorivpro]

I love all the vintage instramental groups and many of the new surf bands. I try to play some of the tunes as best I can. I been a ventures fan since they started (I'm 63 yo). One thing about the Ventures, their music was polished it was never sloppy or crude sounding. Although I like a lot of tunes with the rough garage sound, The Ventures were always the best.

[PrairieWaves]

Alot of cool electric guitarists before the Ventures but the Ventures were the first to make electric guitars sound cool. The most beloved and most imitated sound from any band.

[stupullen]

@PrairieWaves right on! You found the words i was lookin' for!

[nvr2tallluvr]

I guess I'm "old school"...but I still wish they were playing Fender guitars & Bass, rather than Mosrites...but I still love their sound. Having seen them perform here last May,2009...(Casino Regina Show Lounge)..Regina, Sask., Canada....I think Leon Taylor is a better drummer than his (late)father Mel.

[stupullen]

@nvr2tallluvr I usually let opinions be what they are, however this tune from 61, they were not yet playing Mosrite guitars, but fender jazz masters and Melvin Leon Taylor Sr. was in his prime deemed world's best drummer (awards rendered), his son Melvin LEON Taylor,Jr.admits he holds no candle to his dad's work (he does have his own style that is good)and Howey Johnson was the drummer for this one...glad you too are a ventures fan.

[nvr2tallluvr]

@stupullen ...Thanks for educating me....and admittedly I guess I WAS referring to Leons "style"...when they performed at the Casino Lounge (here in Regina,Sask.,Canada) back in mid- May ,2009. I'm not only a Ventures fan,but also a fan of The Fireballs, Astronauts, & Trashmen. But of course The Ventures (I think) are the most famous of the instrumental groups. Thanks again for your reply.

[stupullen]

@nvr2tallluvr All the groups you listed are some of my top favorites as well...I am proud to say The ventures are celebrating they're 52nd year in the business in 2010 and I am equally proud to have Gerry McGee as a personal friend(A rel cool guy) and even proud to say welcome to you to my you tube family!

[nvr2tallluvr]

@stupullen ..Thanks Stu for your quick post. Man, just imagine...52 years of playing the music we love. I envy you for having Gerry Mc Gee as a persona friend, & at the concert I attended in May,2009...it was in the back of my mind..where's Gerry McGee, altho' when I think of it...both Nokie & Bob Spalding graced us with their presence, both takiing turns on lead guitar, while for the most part...Bob played bass. Thanks for invite to YouTube family. BTW..loved seeing Gerry playing Telecaster.

[mlkemper]

this little ditty was written by GENE MOLES a great guitarist and inspector at the Ventures Mosrite guitar factory ..he may have even played on this ..i do not know ..NOKIE does a re arrangement [which he has personally played for me ] and it is dynamite [picks like Chet ] enjoy one of the better Venture arrangements

[Fendergrunge]

Bob Bogle was a virtuoso with his Jazzmaster!

[PrairieWaves]

If I had to guess who was playing lead I would've guessed Nokie. The late great B Bogle is sooo underated and deserves much more recognition.

Thanks for the upload Stu.

[stupullen]

Bob Bogle was one of the two founders & gave up the lead position for bass when nokie gave up bass & took the lead in 1963...bob & don were the two constant Ventures for 50 years.

we all say RIP to bob who passed on in 2009, he was indeed recognized as one of the best.

[promagnum]

You can sometimes hear the guitar say the word GRINGO.

[stupullen]

Awesome, you have a good ear!

This was adopted from a vocal done during the same period . -Stu

[venturesagogo]

RIP BOB !

[venturesagogo]

:-))

[stupullen]

They still play this one on occasion :D

Thank you for being a sacred friend & visiting so frequently.

[Keijz74]

Sorry my last remark was a bad joke. Snarrok said Great shame they don't play it live. I replied Scared they can't play it anymore?

[stupullen]

not a problem, I thought it was a left handed question...no sweat!

[edsnantonio]

hi, there! thanks for uploading this. Gringo was my introduction to the Ventures along with Gandy Dancer. Yeah, go!

[stupullen]

Thank you.

I am glad it has some meaning for you.

[pshimakumi]

Hi Stu. Thank you very much for posting this song. Actually this is the first time I heard this song. I thought I new all the song Ventures played. I was wrong! I'm going to order the Surfin' album. Thanks

[stupullen]

actually I am not aware of anyone who knows ALL the ventures songs, thanks for the comment & I hope to post a few more soon

[snarnok]

One of my favorites. Great shame that The Ventures have no desire to play this classic tune live.

[stupullen]

Yes' I agree, this was one of the ventures better tunes of the time & I came across a copy only by chance ... I think they just do the popular's now.
