great recording level! Thanks.

@rottie It's the only level I know, Thank you for the complement!

That's what I'm talkin' about! The Ventures lead the way when it comes to instrumental guitar work. You can hear their influence even today. The first son I learned on the guitar was Walk Don't Run. I've loved these guys since I can remember and I just turned 60, so it has been a long time.

@lawrenceqpadilla Awesome story!

I agree with you entirely ,they say "The Ventures are the group that launched 1000 groups!" and I add 10,000 times more guitar players.

60, wow! you were the tender age of 7 when the Ventures first came to be!

Thanks for the comment!

Hard to imitate is correct, even though some like to think The Shadows are as good or better. No contest.

[stupullen]

The shadows, the spotnicks etc ...Then we have the incomparable Ventures that always innovate rather than immitate.

always nice to see a loyal fan & someone who appreciates the hard work the ventures have done for the past half century to bring us ultimate entertainment .

sorry, got on my soap box for a second...Thanks for the comment :-))

Gee being a trian nut and a long time Ventures fan it just doesn't get any better than this.

Yep, Nokie played lead on this one. I'd be willing to bet these guys inspired nearly as many guys to learn/play music as the Beatles. I spent 18 months in Japan in '62-63 and these albums were my soundtrack, and it came full circle when I was in a band that shared the bill with "Les Ventures" in Montreal in the 70s!
