Hey, I saw that, Ivan! Slippin' a besmirchment of the mighty Ventures
in the midst of several paragraphs. I did and do agree that the
Ventures were definitely focused on the business end of music BUT not
to the cost of their creative performance. Their focus on the
business end actually had positive effects on the music. It forced
them to put one foot in front of the other and to create.
I don't mean to turn this particular string back into more Ventures
discussion. I do have a great Shadows 2 CD comp from the early '90's
with mostly early stuff and then some of the better latter day stuff.
I'll have to get the title when I get home. It doesn't have all my
favs, it's missing "Chatanooga Choo Choo" for instance, but it was
excellent intro for me getting into the Shadows back then.
