I grew up listening to the Ventures. My parents were fans, so we kids got to hear them a lot. Here is a link to them on Wiki, and here is the band's web site. I invite you to check them out.
They started out being just a bunch of kids who wanted to make some great music, and wound up being a role model band for many that followed.
One big suprise came from their original 17 year-old drummer, George Babbitt. He left the band after eight months with them to join the Air Force. He came back for a reunion to play "walk Don't Run" with them one more time. The big surprise is what he did with all of those years inbetween.
Click hear to see what he had become. You done good, George!
