       '016 FEST SONG SUGGESTIONS?
       By: tabalt11 Date: February 18, 2016, 10:36 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Decided to reach out to the forum members for some
       SONG SUGGESTIONS for our 'gathered' jammers
       come SATURDAY OCTOBER 1ST, 2016!
       In the past several years, what's made the annual fest
       'better than ever' each go-round is the fact these 'stalwart'
       VENTURES FANS have themselves become 'cover bands,' in
       many instances lately covering songs 'our heroes' never did
       in their long career.   One year we successfully 'pulled off' a
       VENTURES PLAY THE BEACH BOYS twelve song set.
       Some of the suggestions from our jammers this year include:
       REBEL WALK & CANNONBALL by Duane Eddy
       F.B.I. by The Shadows
       FREIGHT TRAIN by Rusty Draper
       THAT'LL BE THE DAY by Buddy Holly
       THIS DIAMOND RING by Gary Lewis & the Playboys
       BYE BYE LOVE by The Everly Brothers
       just to name a few!
       I plan to submit the 'official' 2016 list to all jammers by
       mid-March
       so get your thoughts in ASAP!
       Thank you- fest host Tom B.

       Here's another suggestion.
       Some 1 orchestrate a tribute to the Ventures....The Mosrite
       Years..the Live in the USA LP that SHOULD have been.
       Pick any toons from any of their LPs until they stopped using
       Mosrites in 1968.
       Oh, I dunno, like:
       Fever
       Lies
       Wild Trip
       Fuzzy & Wild
       Nite Train
       Needles & Pins
       Blu Tango
       Meat the Culligan Man
       Orange Fire
       Gringo
       Bluebird
       Summertime
       Scratch
       Nite Drive
       Party in Laguna
       Barefoot Venture
       just to name a few
       Whose gonna take the challenge?

       I like the idea a lot Walt.   Let's see if some of those
       returning
       (Ken Arnold, Vic Hines, Chris Monk, Noel Squitieri, Michael
       Waters) jammers can take the 'bull by the horns' & follow thru!

       The lead guitar would require a Mosrite or Mosrite-like guitar,
       since it's unique sounding.
