"THESE GUYS STILL ROCK DON AND GERRY ARE BOTH IN THEIR MID SIXTIES AND EVERY YEAR THEY STILL TOUR JAPAN TWICE A YEAR WITH A SCHEDULE WHICH WOULD EXHAUST THESE MODERN "STARS" HOW DO THEY DO IT FOR THE PLEASURE IT GIVES PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER SEEN THEM LIVE, AND STILL THEY WILL NOT ELECT THEM INTO THE CLEVELAND ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME. THESE GUYS TAUGHT THESE MIDDLE AGED ROCKERS TO PLAY GUITAR WITH THEIR SIXTIES ALBUMS PLAY GUITAR WITH THE VENTURES, LONG BEFORE THE DAYS OF GUITAR TAB!!!!!!!!!!

I LIVE IN ENGLAND AND HAVE ONLY SEEN THE VENTURES FROM THEIR DVD CONCERTS, ALTHOUGH I WAS LUCKY A FEW YEARS AGO AS THEIR ORIGINAL LEAD GUITARIST NOKIE EDWARDS PLAYED A ONE OFF GIG JUST OUTSIDE LONDON FOLLOWED BY A FEW GIGS IN EUROPE. HE TOO IS IN HIS LATE SIXTIES AND HE STILL ROCKS!!!!!!! JUST TEST HIS FINGERSTYLE GUITAR PICKING."
