Re: [SurfGuitar101] The Ventures with Les Fradkin at Salmon Fest

Hey Brian,
I have to agree that those Venturettes look like a lotta fun!
I'm not sure if your shock over the Venture playing Wipe Out is more towards
elation or terror. For me, it's the latter. The fact that the Ventures still
play Wipe Out is a point of distress to many Ventures fanatics like myself. I
wish they would lose the number, which they never played correctly anyway, and
replace it with one of their excellent originals or lesser heard tunes.
If you take a look at the Ventures live albums of the past 15 years, there's a
good ten or more of 'em and they all have the same basic track list which
includes Wipe Out, Caravan, Walk Don't Run, Hawaii Five - O etc... They do
occasionally throw in a few bones for us hardcore fans now and then. But enough
Wipe Out and WDR already!! Well, apparently their just tryin' to please the
general crowd which I can't blame 'em for.
-Marty

I am really quite shocked that the Ventures still play Wipe Out...!
And who are the Venturettes? Do they actually play all those gorgeous
guitars?
Must have been quite cool to play with them...
