Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066		Funny that I just TOOK OUT the Ventures Greatest Hits from my car stereo last week after listening to it off and on for about a month.

Great stuff that I grew up with.

Location: North Oregon Coast		"Walk Don't Run", the first bar-chord progression that I learned, boy was I full of myself then! :)

The Ventures did a lot for the instrumental rock/jazz/fusion thingy.

RIP Bob

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains		One of my influential heroes. The very first 8-track tape I ever purchased was a now out-of-print Very Best of the Ventures featuring all of their hits plus a few others I have not found since. The year was 1966. I have one of their album covers on my studio wall along with the original sheet music of Walk Don't Run (shown between the Strat and Jag below) . . .

+1 They were ahead of the curve. They did one of the best renditions of "Night Train" I've ever heard.

Location: CA		The Ventures second release of WDR (I think called 'Walk Don't Run '64') featured the sweetest use of reverb I have heard before or since. Sounds like musical raindrops.

Location: Tennessee		I saw them perform at the NAMM show a couple of years ago. They were in the big lobby of the convention center at the end of the day while everyone was filing out. They had a lot of miles on them but it was still a great sound and a good show. Needless to say, the Ventures had a huge impact on my musical tastes.
