3. Sorry, but Telstar wasn't by The Ventures

It was a hit by The Tornadoes in 1962.

5. Walk Don't Run Their lead guitar player and his wife are friends of mine

If you LOVE guitar music buy Nokie Edwards' stuff...it is fantastic!

Here's his site:

6. Well, That's Cool!

I DID NOT KNOW THAT! Friends with Nokie, huh?

I'm not a big fan of surf music, but if i put The Ventures into the perspective of the times, i would have to surmise they were pretty cool. Geez, had i been in my late teens in the early 60's, i might have been a big fan.

11. You are correct.

Duane Eddy.

The Ventures may have covered it on an album, though.

13. Not a hit single , but I like their cover of "Perfidia".

Edited on Fri Sep-05-03 03:21 PM by mac56

Add on edit: I stand corrected! It was a hit - - went to #15 in 1960.

18. Not as good as the original, but I like Pipeline

I have about 10 or 12 Ventures LP's.

Plus 45's on my jukeboxes...

20. "Walk Don't Run" -- surf music before there was surf music.

Can't underestimate this ground-breaker.

21. You said it!

Hell, when the Ventures recorded "Walk--Don't Run" in late '59, even Dick Dale hadn't started recording surf music!
