What was Aurthur Lee sentenced for? I guess for wrecklessly shooting his gun. *********************************************************************** Laura shares... Ventures' Drummer Mel Taylor Dies I'm very sad to hear this. Ironically, I was playing a Ventures CD for a friend of mine on Sunday, the day he passed away. I saw the Ventures live in 1989 at a punk club, and they rocked out for two hours straight without a break. In front of me were a couple of poseurs dressed in black, who stood like stone for the first twenty minutes or so, before leaving the room. I passed them in the lobby later on, and overheard one of them say disgustedly to the other, "I didn't think they'd be like THIS." *sigh* Some people just don't "get" it. It was a truly excellent show - the Ventures played not one, not two, but THREE versions of "Walk - Don't Run" (the 1960 arrangement, the 1964 arrangement, and a third version as part of the "Stars on Guitars" medley). After the show, they came into the audience to sign autographs, which I still have (along with a couple of guitar picks with Ventures logos printed on them).

Tix are kinda expensive ($15) but it's gonna be a total blast. As for cool record and guitar stores, try Midnite Records (23rd St. bet. 7 and 8 Ave.) and Mojo Guitars (St. Marks Place bet. Aves. 1 and A). If you have any further questions, feel free to e-mail me. ------------------------------ End of Bomp V96 #61 ******************* You have been reading Bomp-digest.
