I remember The Ventures songs fresh on the radio. My favorite is Telstar and The Lonely Bull. Still love those songs. My older brother started playing guitar because of The Ventures,and still does. Pipeline is another great tune.

My most memorable versions of Telstar was by the Tornadoes; of Lonely Bull, Herb Alpert.

I was enthralled by the Walk, Don’t Run, Hawaii 5-0, Wipeout, Pipeline. What a sound! Went right through your gut when played on a good stereo or jukebox.

Radio stations like instrumental cues because they could fade out of them or talked over them. And it was a time when commercial radio tried to play something favorable to all ages of listeners.
