You are so right about the continued popularity of the Ventures in Japan mrblanche.

As evidence, check out this 2006 video of Chicchi and the Sweet Papas. Turns out Chicchi is a 9 year old girl that plays lead guitar in this band. She definately hammers out Telstar as well as most players.

Is that a Barbie head hanging from her headstock?

Here's a good quality Ventures Live series from 1966. All the hits.

Just my way of saying RIP Bob Bogle. Thanks for 75 years.
