Subject: Hello, with a Correction

Hello,

On your Sandcastle webpage under The Fabulous Ventures, you state that Skip Moore ONLY played drums on the original recording of "Walk Don't Run." He ALSO played drums on the flipside instrumental, "The McCoy", recorded at the same time. "The McCoy" was RE-recorded with Howie Johnson playing drums for the first album, Walk Dont Run.

Sincerely,
Rich

EDITOR'S NOTE: Thanks for the correction, Rich.

Hello,

I just thought I'd mention that you have a photo of Catherine Schell with the caption of Angela Soular. Angela Scoular played the redhead (in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service").

Thanks,
John

[EDITOR'S NOTE: John, thanks for the correction. I've made it to the Bond Girls page.]

Just a note to let you know that I really enjoy your website. It has one of the best discography lists I have ever used for the Ventures. I was introduced to the Ventures in the 1960s when my Father would play the Telstar/Lonely Bull album and I have been hooked ever since. I collect the vinyl albums, and have quite a few of them, but quite a few left to locate. I use the discography on your web site to keep track of the albums I need. Again I enjoy your site and thanks....

Bill

[EDITOR'S NOTE: Bill, thanks for your comments about my Ventures discography. My introduction to the band was also the Telstar/Lonely Bull album. It's a classic!]

Heallo ... I had a craving earlier to listen to The Ventures, after an hour searching through vinyl I found the double album "Legendary Masters Series" on United Artists. Really great! I know it's on vinyl, but quite brilliant through headfones. They were truly great.

Hope you don't mind my emailing.

Kind regards,
Brian

[EDITOR'S NOTE: Brian, I'm alway glad to hear from fans of The Ventures. I don't have that particular double album, but I have the songs on other albums. They're still going strong after 50 years. They recently completed a couple weeks in Japan and a few dates on the U.S. east coast, and will be going back to Japan for the annual summer-long tour of that country.]
