ベンチャーズ Alain Delon 太陽はひとりぼっち Twist Degli Amanti “L’Eclisse“ (cover) young guitarist Mina Pang #千齡

From Saigon to and gentlemen, for those who DID go to our YouTube Community and saw the Alain Delon and Mick Jagger photo, you have guessed it. May we present to you Twist Degli Amanti “L’Eclisse“ (cover), from a 1962 Michelangelo Antonion IItalian romance movie starring Alain Delon and Monica Vitti? Of course, we are doing a Ventures version of the song with Nokie Edwards adding a twist to the song with his cool guitar licks, especially towards the end. In case you didn’t know, Alain Delon was so big globally and all my aunties and neigbourers, my mom plus her female friends, they all were so crazy about him. As for me, I was in the middle of America for quite some years, and one day, one school friend, who was also an international student, came up to me and this other friend from Malaysia. He eyed ball us up and down, and asked, “You know the brand Alain Delon? If you want to have some class and taste in fashion, buy some Alain Delon clothes like me, ok? Don’t say I didn’t give you some hot tips“. Then he strutted away. I was wearing my biker’s jacket with ripped 501, and my pal from Johor Bahru (in Malaysia) had a bomber jacket (the Top Gun kind) and with FBI tactical pants, plus Bruce Lee type thick frame sunglasses. My friend and I looked at each other, and had the same question in our head: would Alain Delon wear a sweater that says “Alain Delon“ on the chest? was in 1990. I guess he was still big back then in some places. So, hope you like our Alain Delon and Ventures related surf tune from the 60’s. Once again, thank u for giving us continued support, a big hello especially to our recent subscribers. Don’t forget to check out the new mini-series surf rock playlist Mina has prepared for you: Ride of the Song: 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Originally, I wish to talk about Delon’s legendary and rare 1961 Ferrari 250 SWB California Spyder, which was sold for USD18.5 million in Paris, France at an auction in 2015. But hey, a car?! It’ surreal as a car but as a collectible item, I understand. The said Ferrari, one of only 37 ever produced was stolen for nearly four decades, until it was uncovered in a French barn find along with 59 other exotic classic cars. At the price of , the Ferrari 250 SWB droptop becomes the fifth most expensive vehicle ever sold. I personally like this Ferrari a lot, as to me, it’s not very flashy and . I mean, it doens’t stand out, does it? But, I guess it IS too flashy. So, let go back to earth and go to Rome, and pick up an era correct Alfa Romeo, which, a white one actually was driven by Delon in the movie! I can’t drive a red one anyway and a 1959 Giulietta Spider is “slow“ enough that Mr. Jim Richards would approve, cos I agree with him that once Mina starts asking me to lend her a car key, I probably want something she takes with less than 100 horses under the hood, that the torque is only barely adequate by today’s standard (but hey, the spider is light). Since it has relatively smaller engine, I guess whoever will be driving it to a gig, we can exploit the gearbox and enjoy the small engine to the max, as I think if one can handle and like that Alfa Romeo transmission, the driver can probably enjoy driving all other manual cars in the stable and can have fun. The car is small, simple and parts should be easy to find with 3D printing technology around. Hey, the 250 GT SWB Spider and the Alfa are both spiders, both driven by Delon, both from Italy, and both designed by Pinin Farina (if I am not wrong). Would you want to drive dollar car on the street and worry every minute, or the Giulietta Spider in relative carefree style? I think you have the answer. No, I don’t want racks to be added to the body so about our rigs and the guitars, we will ask Uncle Gary to help us bring our “weapons“. hahaha! #ベンチャーズ #太陽はひとりぼっち #LEclisse #ノーキーエドワーズ #theventures #投機者樂團 #衝浪音樂 #minapang #surfrock #nostalgicmusic #thecottonkids #alaindelon #千齡 #棉花樂隊 #youngguitarist #女吉他手 #兒童吉他手 #guitargirl #ギター少女 #nokieedwards #GiuliettaSpider #1959Giulietta
