WALK DON'T RUN- The Story Of The Ventures
By: tabalt11 Date: February 7, 2012, 8:56 am
---------------------------------------------------------
This is the ULTIMATE SOURCE on the career of The Ventures.
We're talkin' 386 pages here. Penned by long standing fan Del
Halterman, this represents the MOST DEFINITIVE log available for
the most popular & biggest selling group in the history of
recorded music.
Collaborated on with both part founding member Bob Bogle & Don
Wilson's mom Josie, no stone is left unturned. Now in its
second printing & including details & pics from their induction
into the ROCK HALL OF FAME this is a MUST for all die-hard
Ventures fans.
Not sure if both editions are available. Two different covers
were used- originally COLORFUL VENTURES & more recently THE
VENTURES! I'll be back shortly with a couple links; one for
placing orders & one for general discussion.

Del is now saying that only the second edition is available.
There were some key revisions throughout without sacrificing
any content & the book's overall size is somewhat smaller.
Just a tease here but under THE BLAZER PHOTO, it says 'from
construction workers to the rock 'n roll hall of fame.' This
is a NO BRAINER for any collection.

Agreed.
Every V fan should OWN a copy.
For the amount of time/effort spent on the project 30 bucks is a
steel! ;D

Don Wilson suggested that line...[i] From Construction workers
to the R&R Hall of Fame[/i] during sound-check at the Regina
Casino on May 29, 2009.
In fact, he had it posted on the jumbo-tron so I wouldn't forget
it. He also asked for that 50 Years of Rock & Roll badge at the
bottom.
