       2017 Ventures Fan Fest- UPDATE!!!
       By: tabalt11 Date: July 5, 2017, 3:19 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       We were 'excited' to learn that THE VENTURES 'summer kick-off'
       gigs with THE SURFARIS on the west coast mid-June went off
       'without a hitch,' generating large crowds of surf music lovers
       determined to keep that 'genre' as viable today as it was in the
       60's.
       As most of you know, THE VENTURES are gettin' ready & will soon
       be off to Japan for what constitutes their 55th anniversary
       sharing
       their music with that country.   The lineup will again be Leon
       Taylor,
       Bob & Ian Spalding & Gerry McGee.
       & now that they've netted a few US gigs, the hope upon 'the
       guys'
       return is to 'tie-in' some East Coast concert dates with our
       annual
       fest Saturday October 7th.   Yes, that's right- we're 'holding
       out hope
       THE US VENTURES grace us with their presence at the fest this
       year.
       & speaking about the fest, I've decided to bring back a Bob
       Spalding
       idea from back in 2011 when Leon Taylor also attended the all
       day
       gathering- the FIFTEEN + minute 'grand finale' of WIPE OUT!
       That'll do it for now with 'updates!'
