There’s supposed to be what many consider a true R& R hall of fame in Seattle, but it doesn’t get the press.
anyway, I’m glad for the Ventures…they deserve it, and they’ve been a tremendous influence on my playing…and not be be persnickity, but although the Ventures became known for doing songs like “Apache,” that was orignally a number by the British group the Shadows.
( Don’t mind me, I’m a big instrumental, surf/rock nut)
On another note, when I was very young I never cared for Buck Owens that much, until I had a reel to reel tape with Buck on one side, and the amazing instrumental prowess of the Buckaroos on the flip side.
Gave me a much better appreciation for ‘chiken-pickin.’
