Chiba,
Unfortunately, you saying it's so doesn't actually make it so.
Does in this case.

Leon says on faceplace that the band is alive and well. I’m sticking with Leon . The baton has been rightfully passed . They have a new LP out on the Hi-Tide label . Ya know , I can still go out and see/hear the COUNT BASIE ORCHESTRA, the Duke Ellington Ensemble and Maynard Ferguson Orchestra- they are keeping the spirit and portfolio alive. Dick Dales son goes out and plays with his dad’s former members and he is keeping the spirit and the portfolio alive. Where I come from , I’ve often worked and recorded the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and though that “band” is still together after 150 years , no original members are remaining but they are still keeping the spirit and the portfolio alive.

That sort of circles back to my original post in this thread; is a band the members, or the concept? At what point does a band quit being its original self? There are all sorts of answers, and I’m not about to say it’s one way or the other. Ultimately, it’s in the eye of the beholder. I wish Leon T. and company, the best. —The artist formerly known as: Synchro When Surf Guitar is outlawed only outlaws will play Surf Guitar. |

There's quite a few lawyers in this thread. If all the band members are dead, the band is no longer active. Simple as. If a bunch of dudes want to get together and play Ventures tunes then it's a tribute act. |

All, The short, correct answer as of now is a big fat "NO". J Mo' Last edited: Aug 23, 2024 08:00:21 |

A general question: If so, was it an actual "fest" or was it a funeral? I understand Fiona Taylor was to attend. I wonder how that went over with Ventures fans given her part in the covert sale of the Ventures catalog. The Fest used to be announced here on SG101 in the past. That was not the case this year. A slow fade to obscurity? J Mo' Last edited: Sep 29, 2024 09:29:29 |

I was enjoying VenturesMANIA video on YT when Jeff BTD pointed me to this thread which I totally bypassed ... shame on me. —When you have to shoot ... shoot! Don't talk. |
