Summary

Maurice Bursztynski and Skizz Cyzyk join Mike to discuss Staci Layne Wilson's documentary about The Ventures -- one of the best instrumental bands of the 20th Century. Formed in the late '50s and still going today, The Ventures are most famous for their versions of "Walk, Don't Run" and the Hawaii 5-0 theme. The documentary goes beyond the hits to show the influence that The Ventures have had for the last sixty years.
