Ventures' Pics

;D
Well, well, well. I decided to send a batch of 300 slides to
have them put on a CD because I no longer have a slide
projector. I knew there were some Ventures slides in there from
the 80s. I got them back today and was stunned when I saw some
of the pictures I had taken. To have my very own picture of Mel
Taylor playing the drumstick on Bob Bogle's base is as the say,
priceless. But wait, there's more. I had the foresight to hand
Don Wilson a note to please let me have their guitar picks and
he did. He gave me his and Bob Bogles picks. Wow!
Enjoy,
Carlos

Keep 'em comin' Carlos. & an 'excellent' idea for
an 'additional' forum category.
These pics here seem to be from their US 'revival'
in the early 80's!

They played that night at a nightclub called "Clubfoot." It was
a punk hangout and for some unknown reason, that genre had an
interest on the Ventures. For sure, I was the oldest person in
the audience.

I was also there and did not have a camera! I was an office
manager for a market research company branch office down on
South First Street at the time. Keep the pictures coming!
The audience was the oddest group I had ever seen. Kids with
paper clips in their noses, older couples standing arm in arm
and others bouncing up and down! I was there early and was
fortunate to be at the bar and met a few of the group... but
was speechless! I did get an autograph from everyone!
Jan Berry appeared in Austin later that year without Dean and
Dean appeared the next year in this same club with Mike Love!
