Black Owl Posted October 21, 2012 #1 Posted October 21, 2012 This was a bit before my time. But some of the "old times" like, Don, Bubber, Condor and a lot more probably do. http://www.stumptownblogger.com/2012/04/what-a-cool-video.html?cid=6a010536b86d36970c0163050cd62f970d Those were the days were they not...

Sailor Posted October 21, 2012 #3 Posted October 21, 2012 Remember it? Heck, I have it in my record collection.
CaptainJoe Posted October 21, 2012 #4 Posted October 21, 2012 Didn't recognize the title, but sure remember the melody! It's truly amazing the paths we follow....
DragonRider Posted October 21, 2012 #5 Posted October 21, 2012 It just goes to show everyone that rock and rollers arent all bad people but go on to do great things in their lives........:clap2: Didn't recognize the title, but sure remember the melody! It's truly amazing the paths we follow....

Seems to me that there is that one, or another Ventures song on the Potato Creek DVD that Floyd made way back in '05 when we were just a wee lad of a website
cecdoo Posted October 21, 2012 #7 Posted October 21, 2012 Thanks, brought back some great memories:thumbsup: Craig
bongobobny Posted October 21, 2012 #10 Posted October 21, 2012 ah yes, the Ventures, one of the Grand Daddies of surf music!! If memory serves me right, the Ventures also did the theme from Hawaii 5 O as well. I also remember their song Perfidia...
Venturous Randy Posted October 22, 2012 #11 Posted October 22, 2012 Wow, what a really neat video. The four star General can still bang on the drums. It really makes me wonder how many people throughout his military career had any idea he could play the drums or that he was a member of the Venture's band. You brought a big smile to my face and yes, I did have Venture albums at one time. RandyA
pmelah Posted October 22, 2012 #12 Posted October 22, 2012 i grew up listening to them moma liked them a lot she had a lot of albums back then
alwrmcusn Posted October 22, 2012 #13 Posted October 22, 2012 At one time, waaayyy back there! I owned every Ventures record available, Even their learn to play guitar and bass records. I still have a couple of them and that "twangy" guitar guy also But I never knew about Babbitt. Thanks for the link.
Caveman Posted October 22, 2012 #14 Posted October 22, 2012 Greatest hits album is the only cassett that has been played in my venture. My dad used to have an 8-track player in his old cuda, and I grew up on that music....love it!
Steel Horse Cowboy Posted October 22, 2012 #15 Posted October 22, 2012 Great tunes. I'm not that old, but I grew up listening to this music as a teenager in the 70's. I may still have an 8 track of the greatest hits. C.R.
Trader Posted October 22, 2012 #16 Posted October 22, 2012 (edited) still one my favourite songs to play on the guitar....even sounds sort of like that! Was it the ventures that did Telstar?

Edit again....YES IT WAS! lol [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6DmtPQv7V8&feature=related]THE VENTURES - Telstar - YouTube[/ame] Edited October 22, 2012 by Trader
bongobobny Posted October 22, 2012 #17 Posted October 22, 2012 (edited) ...and don't forget one of their most famous ones, Wipeout!!! EDIT: Oops, my bad, it was the Surfari's that did the original, The Ventures did a copy version in '63... Edited October 22, 2012 by bongobobny
Drreb Posted October 23, 2012 #18 Posted October 23, 2012 The Ventures, I remember them well! Walk Don't Run one of my all time favorites!!!
stroker ace Posted October 23, 2012 #19 Posted October 23, 2012 ...and don't forget one of their most famous ones, Wipeout!!! EDIT: Oops, my bad, it was the Surfari's that did the original, The Ventures did a copy version in '63... Back in my motocross days I used the Ventures version of Wipeout as my rider introduction.
Black Owl Posted October 23, 2012 Author #20 Posted October 23, 2012 Back in my motocross days I used the Ventures version of Wipeout as my rider introduction. And with the number of "incidents" being reported this year, maybe it should become the theme song here as well.....
aharbi Posted October 24, 2012 #21 Posted October 24, 2012 (edited) Remembered that song well, always liked it. There were several great instrumentals "back then"[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGPG_Y-_BZI]Duane Eddy - Rebel-rouser [/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j09C8clJaXo]Pipeline - The Chantays[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p13yZAjhU0M]Wipe Out[/ame] To name just a few, do a google on instrumentals of the 1960's, some great listening. Edited October 24, 2012 by aharbi added Wipe Out
Sailor Posted October 25, 2012 #23 Posted October 25, 2012 I remember all of these and still have some of them. Got Bill Haley and the Comets Rock around the Clock. I was at a dance when the band started playing some of these oldies. I asked a co worker to dance and to my surprise she knew all of them and could dance to them ( I am 68= she is 34). She explained that they used to dance to them in their gym class.
frankd Posted October 25, 2012 #24 Posted October 25, 2012 Thanks for posting a great video. I've still got a lot of their albums in my record cabinet... Frank D.
