Hi all
Great to be about a really nice site.
Been a fan of The Ventures since I heard WDR-Perfidia-Blue Moon etc.
been a simi pro guitar player for most of my life
I used to spend my Sat. mornings trawling the shops for 45's and LP's byThe Ventures
then the CDs came along
really picked up some goodies then-expensive tho at the time -

I live outside Dublin Ireland,Im retired from the rat race and still promising myself that I will learn to read music -soon. ;D

Hi Walt
thanks for the welcome
yes I still play -but only in the kitchen
I have a small recording unit -BR600 and I use it to put down ideas and tracks -beats the goggle box anytime ;D
At the moment I have a Mex Strat and a Burns Cobra a Squier Korean strat +a cheap bass-

ohhh forgot to mention I'm a Lefty.


Tom.

Welcome to the site. There are quite a few at-home players around here. Have fun looking
around. There's also a lot of Shadows fans here too.

Great selection of vids -looks like Sadmania was a huge success
Bruce really looks the part still--
That Daniel is one hell of a guitar player-move over Hank.

The "other guy", Justin, even looks like Hank.
