50 year anniversary

50 year anniversary
Posted on August 4, 2022 .

Today, August 1, 2022, marks exactly 50 years since I first met The Ventures in Osaka, Japan where they were on one of the most extensive tours they performed there. Who knew that I would still be involved with the band? Certainly not me! The photo that is shown here is the poster that was used for advertising all over Japan that summer: the group played 108 shows in 78 days – quite a marathon!

If anyone is interested in purchasing a copy of this picture – poster-sized or otherwise – please let me know, at my e-mail address: fionataylor@theventures.com or by phone or text to 818-903-6381. We can arrange for various sizes to be produced against order: the price would depend on the size of the poster/photo and method of shipment, etc.
