I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes. I am 74 years old. I grew up with the Ventures so to speak. You two are fabulous.

Thank you so much for being a part of The Ventures' "future history" -- it's musicians like you who keep the tunes alive and growing. You're the best, and we are proud to have you in the documentary.

Walk Don't Run was a song in my guitar class that was in our lesson book that we would eventually learn. Needles to say I taught it to myself because I love surf music and I just had to learn it!!!!!! It remains one of my favorites!! Plus when you're in Guitar Center and everybody else is playing the forbidden riff or Free Bird and you whip out Walk Don't Run, you definitely feel like the coolest person in the room LOL! Thank you ladies!!

You girls are awesome! I should know. I’ve been a musician for 54 years and have followed the Ventures for that long. Saw them live twice. You girls make me proud. You are keeping their wonderful sound alive. You proves to me that there is hope for the future after all! Never stop!

"Walk Don't Run" was one of the first songs I learnt to play too (in 1968), and still one of my favorites. But you play with such a light touch. That's why I never get tired of listening to your music.

How cool that The Surferjettes made it into the Ventures movie!

Good job. I have the original Walk Don't Run album. I played in a rock band in the mid 60s. When we played walk don't run you couldn't tell it from the Ventures. I had a 1959 Stratocaster. He had a Jaguar. Our lead player was that good. RIP Wesley.

Oh Ms. Platinum you're dangerous! The camera loves you baby. Not just bedroom eyes, but talent and confidence and it's only our first date. God bless you guys. Hope to host you at my bar one day.

[@jimcarter6669]

Gorgeous girls with cool guitars playing awesome stuff. What could be better? Seriously, you guys are greatly. Thanks for keeping it alive.

I’m in my mid 70’s. Never in my wildest dreams did I suspect the music we did in the early 60’s would manage to survive for decades, only to be performed by talented young ladies . . . who are younger than my own grandchildren.

[@ralphmcqueary3641]

I am glad that these young ladies are keeping this genre of music going.

[@brucecoleman9961]

It's nice to see the younger crowd enjoy The Ventures. Good job.

Summer 1963 - my first (in person) introduction to electric guitar. The neighbors next door had hired a band for their party, and they were playing Ventures songs all night. Needless to say, I was buying Ventures albums as soon as I could save up the money. I know you hear it all the time, but it's so cool you guys are keeping the flame.

[@tonydrake821]

That Creston has a nice crisp sound.

[@backtofuture1955]

43 years old and grew up on this Music! Thank you for keeping it Alive and Well! Great Job!!

[@bobfegan]

Walk Don’t Run was one of the first songs I learned to play also when I took lessons in the late 60s. Forty years later I picked up the guitar again and I STILL could play it from memory!

[@rubendawn7478]

I first listened to The Ventures when I was 5 years old back in 1971 in my hometown of Mexico City, the only record we had in the house was "Knock Me Out" I would get in our TV room where we have the record player and stayed there for hours at the time playing the same record over and over and over with a broomstick and a cord tied on each end playing air guitar. Later somebody brought Santana music home and the same thing. It was not until probably a few years back thanks to Spotify that I was able to listen to the original music from the LP again. Thank you for keeping the music alive!!!

Amazing cover ! The Ventures will always have a special place for all guitarists. They all grew up on trying to learn their iconic songs.

Don is a great guy. I have a few autographed CD. It was amazing that they were still touring in Japan into their 60's.
