At the 2019 International Ventures Fan Fest
Here is a link to a Youtube playlist for my set at the 2019 International Ventures Fan Fest.
Fireball
“Fireball” is an original instrumental intended to be in the style of early 1960s guitar rock similar to the Ventures.
Magic Carpet
This is my cover of “Magic Carpet”, originally released in 1963 by the English instrumental group, the Dakotas. These are the same Dakotas who composed and were the first to release the classic surf instrumental, “The Cruel Sea”. They also went on the become Billy J. Kramer’s backup band, much as the Shadows backed up Cliff Richard.
“Magic Carpet” was composed by George Martin, who was their producer — as well as being the producer for the Beatles.
My arrangement is more in the style of the Shadows than the Dakotas.
