First you poo-poo the Surf Coasters then you go rippin' on old Hank's
amps...I wasn't sure what to think. Okay I have backed down to DEF CON
4 now. Just ribbin' ya!
Although let me twist the knife one more time.... You asked Ivan for
hard empirical evidence about Shadows vs Ventures sales. But then you
get your sample about American's knowledge of The Shadows from 5 20
year old girls? LOL :-)
I agree with you though. When I was first getting into the Shadows I
was asking some of my friends if they had heard of them. I got blank

Sort of funny but prophetic story. The first time I went to see The
Troubadours (and Volcanos) in Indy, I stopped on the way to see my old
buddies in Illinois. I'm sitting in a Mexican resturant in Joliet
drinking a beer waiting for them to show up. The music they were
piping in was your typical Mexican resturant music (the almost polka
sounding accordian cabellero music). All of a sudden a Mexican'ized
version of Apache comes on! My mouth dropped open. I knew it was going
to be a good trip after that.
BTW, Wikipedia has an interesting entry on The Shadows:
