The Ventures Legacy Lives On

Michael sad when anyone does pass flash of memories of what part a person or celebrity played in those times. GREAT POST

Have a great Sunday with family for father's day.

Michael, I was in high school when I listened to the Ventures. My favorites were "Blue Moon" and "Secret Agent Man" It saddens me when i hear of someone from the 50"s and 60"s that have passed away, At least we will always have them with us in continuing to play their music. I did not know you were a guitarist. That is terrific. You will have to perform on a video and put it up on AR for us to enjoy one of our own AR members.

Michael, great post. I was not familiar with Bob Bogle but you are right, I had heard his music. Sad to hear of his passing. I am passing along this video to my 13 year old nephew, he, as yourself is bigtime into guitars and has been getting pretty good at it; I am sure he'll enjoy this awesome guitarist.

Michael - I too did not recognize the name but sure know the music.  Thanks for the tribute!

Michael, Thanks for the information. I didn't know him by name, but was a huge fan for many years.  I'm surprised you didn't mention the Mosrite brand of guitar when thinking of the Ventures.  I remember first connecting with them in 1965.  My collection was stolen, but for many years I would buy each of their new albums.  And weren't those sweaters they wore on the covers cool?!  I will certainly have their tunes in my head in his memory.  Thank you again - I would have had to wait for my next copy of Rolling Stone to arrive to know about his passing were it not for you.

Michael--I was scrolling through your recent posts and found this one.  Yes, I remember the music, but I didn't remember his name.  As someone else said in their comment we learn so much about each other here at AR in addition to real estate related 'stuff' such as you have a guitar and still play.  I grew up in the 60's, did not play music like you did, but I love to hear the old songs.

Hi Michael ~ Boy - June was a bad month - so many people who made big impressions on us passed away.

We still chuckle about the year I got a guitar for Christmas - I think I was 11.  It was just about the only present I got.  I learned my lesson - I like lots of presents! - and ever after - even to this day - I make a wish list with lots of little presents.
