"Walk Don't Run", The Ventures

     Do any of you remember the USAF four star George Babbitt?  Anyone who thought the military is all spit and polish and discipline can see how the USAF handles it.  I never knew Babbitt but sure would have liked to meet him.  Pretty interesting. Four Star General was a drummer at one time for the Ventures.  This is rather cool!  This is too cool.  Watch it.  You will love it.  If you like rocknroll.  Some of you don't know the Ventures (I didn't.)  Those that do, enjoy the clip, it should bring a smile to your face.

     This will knock you out....remember the Ventures? Remember "Walk Don't Run."
