Noel,
At how many events will you ever see three Roland Space Echo units? I'm sorry ours got crossed in the mix. Your crew was fine - just keep at it. Play well at times- play not so well at times - but play.

I was told by Jeff Green I was wearing a Fireballs shirt, not a Ventures shirt. So the first song Jeff's band (The Pickniks) played was a Fireballs song. Coincidence? I don't think so! (Well, probably, but it was fun.) —This is Noel. Reverb's at maximum an' I'm givin' 'er all she's got. |

Your hair is looking HOT, Noel! Suits you a hell of a lot better than the "bald old man" look. Thanks for this thread, Noel. You and your entire family are a true inspiration to all of us. —IMO. |

Found out last night that our five-piece combo will continue, with the goal of developing the jazz-fusion funk idea into something we play out. Alan agrees we should add percussion (bongos, congas, etc.) and see how far we can take it. It's not surf/instro, but it's now almost officially a band. Alan has to convince the others to commit to it, and then we'll see just how much we can do with it. We're already going to bring a set of it to next year's Fan Fest, so that's one confirmed date! The "Ventures never recorded a Beach Boys album but should have, so we will" project really took off. I told Bob Spalding about it AFTER we played, and he asked to be part of it as long as he can play Sloop John B and 409. A "real" band also wants to be part of it. All-together, there are enough great musicians who want to do this with me that it can be something extraordinary. I really didn't expect this level of acceptance of the concept, especially after I played. I'm a little intimidated. This is way more ambitious that my original concept. But I like it. I have a lot of work to do. The next 12 months are going be very busy. —This is Noel. Reverb's at maximum an' I'm givin' 'er all she's got. |

I know a lot of you were surprised that I don't really play as well as you expected me to. I sure didn't play as well on Saturday as I had played the day before, either. Still though, I'm really not very good, but I'm just getting started. And, I've started this... If you would like to be part of this, and are near enough to Philly for your convenience, please let me know. This will be an extra-special performance. I'd also like it to be good enough to maybe play it at other venues. A version of it could become part of the acoustic surf/instro trio. —This is Noel.

Congrats on playing out like that Noel. That's a big milestone that not very many people get to cross. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

I want to thanks John (mrmomo) for agreeing to play lead guitar on Ventures-style insto versions of Surfin' U.S.A., Surfer Girl & I Get Around with us at next year's Ventures Fan Fest. Thanks, John! I greatly appreciate it. —This is Noel. Reverb's at maximum an' I'm givin' 'er all she's got. Last edited: Oct 17, 2013 21:10:05 |

And another thank you to Mosrite87 (Mike Waters) for joining up and agreeing to come up all the way from North Carolina to play lead guitar on "Help Me Rhonda", "Fun, Fun, Fun" and "California Girls" PLUS play 12-string on "Sloop John B" at the 2014 Fan Fest. It'll be great to see Mike again, and wonderful to play these songs with him. Thanks, Mike! —This is Noel. Reverb's at maximum an' I'm givin' 'er all she's got. |

While I haven't managed to start or join a local surf band (Yet!) I have been able to play music I like with good friends, several times in the last eighteen months. And, plans are already well underway for next year. Plus, "The Ventures Play The Beach Boys" went over so well among everyone at the Fan fest that I've been asked to turn the concept into an album. Of course I jumped at the opportunity. So, I'm now a record producer! I'm gonna be asking a lot of questions here, so thanks in advance for everyone's advice. I think I'm the most improbable guitarist I know. I'm well over 60 now. I didn't seriously get started until a few years ago. I'm a slow learner who needs a lot of practice to be stage ready. But I'm boundlessly enthusiastic and I don't give up. And, I'm not afraid to ask people to be part of my musical journey. I mention all this to encourage anyone reading to take a chance and just go for it. You just don't know what wonderful, amazing things can happen if you do. The most amazing thing about all of this is, none of it would ever have happened without the friendliness, encouragement, support, and even participation of the membership of SG101. Thank you! But wait... there's more!
