Fizzies

“Fizzies” is an original unstrumental intended to sound like something the Ventures might have recorded in the early 1960s. I think this one sounds a bit like a commercial jingle for some kind of a “fun” product like a toy or candy.

Burnout

“Burnout” is an original instrumental intended to sound like a guitar-rock track from the early 1960s that might have been recorded by the Ventures or other group inspired by surf-rock and “drag-racing-rock”. In drag-racing, a “burnout” is the pre-race process whereby the driver “warms up” the racing slicks by spinning them on the track.
