Hey man, that's really far out ....the photo has sort of a trippy '60's vibe to it.
LOL! I showed this to a couple of my older cousins that had turned me on to "the Ventures"
and they REMEMBERED this SCENE back then, actually from the later 60s!
My first gig outing with my Hallmark Custom 60 is this weekend...should be an interesting
experience to see what she does when I open her up at stage volume in the heat of battle.
Vec,
When you 'open her up' at Stage Volume in the Heat of Battle, You WILL 'Own the Stage!
Just think of it as you just 'floored the Pedal' on one of those Muscle Cars from the 60's....
And to quote what I proudly have mounted on my sunvisor in my Twin Turbo Mitsu VR-4:
"GET IN, SIT DOWN, HOLD ON, SHUT UP!"
.
Well, its been said that if you remember the 60's, you weren't really there
. I grew up in the silly 60's and the Ventures are one of the few things I do remember...so I guess there's still hope for this old fart !! Since acquiring my Hallmark 60 though I've been trying to relearn all the Ventures songs I used to know back in the day but the mind & hands just don't work as well as they used to. Walk, don't Run, Pipeline, and Apache eventually came back but that friggin' Hawaii 50 is driving me crazy! Oh well, I'll keep plugging away at it until I re-awaken what's left of those 1960's brain cells. And watching those 60's videos of the Ventures playing those songs on YouTube is kinda frustrating because Nokie makes it look so easy...until I try it .
