"Endless Summer" is one of several movies I bought during my book research. The VHS box has that same illustration on the front. I enjoyed the surfing...

Thanks Marty for this infos. So, a '' In the vaults vol 5 '' is in process. Mix those 3 tracks Masters. Mean to me many 1962-1964 tracks era!!!. Yes, a chance...
My wife claims every Ventures song sounds alike---even when I sit her down and play various songs from various periods that are completely different. To her,...
I guess I'm lucky. Frequently, when I have a Ventures CD playing on the living room stereo and my wife is at her computer doing something, I'd hear her...
My wife of 36 1/2 years, Charlotte, was never much of a Ventures fan until she saw them at Epcot last April. She had seen them previously at the 1982 World's...
Hi Bruce, Wow, if I only had the cash! The Endless Summer is one of those movies that blew me away when I was a kid...having the poster would be cool. I hope...
Oh yes, if we were independently wealthy, I'd be bidding against Dave for this one. For several years, I slept under (the cheap version of) this Day-Glo...
My wife has never liked instro music and I can't play it in the car when she is in it. She thinks it sounds all the same and prefers records from artists who...
Very cool story Bob. For many people, The Ventures has proven to be an acquired taste - that is, their appreciation of the genius and talent of the band has...
You're right that vocals may not be a "girl thing", Ian, BUT instros are quite certainly a guy thing. Are there exceptions to the rule? Could it possibly be...
Dave, I wasn't taking any video, but I did take a couple of audience shots with my still camera as evidence of the SRO audience who were enjoying The Ventures'...
Thanks Arnold - I probably should have mentioned that the guys doing the filming/taping were obviously official Disney film people. They were up on the stage...
Marty;  In the US I would agree with you concerning guys preferring instros and the ladies not as much. That does not hold true here in Japan from my...
That's nice for the Japan concerts, Gary, but when we see the Ventures clubs in Japan such as The El Camino Club and most of the bands playing Ventures, they...
You are right about that too, no question about it. I have been in a couple of the clubs and they are male exclusive again it is probably cultural - it is...
Hi Folks, This is a heads up for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame's tribute to Les Paul concert on November 15. At age 93, it's anybody's guess if Les himself will...
Uh ... not really moved by 'em, even when I tell her, hey---this is ONE MUSICIAN filling the room with all of this music! Sorry! Kirk ... From: Michel...
My wife likes the Ventures, buy she gets a little ticked every now and then because that’s all I play in my car. I also have all of Ventures on my iTunes on...
The Wine and Food Festival is now underway and Disney has moved up the concert schedule by 30 minutes earlier, reportedly so the last show isn't so close to...
I suppose the real key to success is to able to do both, play and sing and for good measure write your own stuff. If you are also blessed with good looks to...
Ian, The Wilson Bros. have a female band called the Venturettes, I think. They are all lookers, but I never heard them play. Maybe it was a marketing gimmick...
There's some great girl guitar players out there.. Instros are just a plain tough sell these days. In the rare cases they do make it, they are never followed...
I think that the mainstream media is a little biased towards instro music. The youth of today expects the loud ranting and raving, I suspect as part of the...
