THE FAREWELL TOUR?

Recently Bob Spalding of The Ventures was interviewed on
radio 'bout his time spent with the group over the years,
his own special recordings & his new project, the
launch of V2, his new band dedicated to the
art of the instrumental. FANS OF has
uploaded the interview under the
category:
V2- The Art Of The Instrumental.
So, I NOW offer up the following topic- THE FAREWELL TOUR?
Specifically, this refers to (yes mentioned in Bob's interview)
that
this summer's Japan tour will 'officially' be Don Wilson's last.
Also
it's no secret that Gerry McGee years ago made the decision to
only
do the overseas shows. Bob does go on to say that "The
Ventures
will be in Japan." But what I read into that statement was that
the
country's 'countless tribute bands' would continue to carry on
their
legacy of music. At least initially, it appears V2 would
concentrate
their playin' efforts here in the States.
Anyway, if you haven't listened to the entire interview yet,
please do
so, then 'venture' back here to this topic & offer up your
feedback
'bout something truly special seemingly coming to an end in
mid-Sept.
& how you feel not only the Japanese will handle it but all
their fans the
World over.
It'll be interesting to read the 'different slants.'

I keep a distance from the truth of me to come to your reality.
