Nokie Edwards


Sad to hear about Nokie today. Underrated and under-appreciated by all but the guitar community, he could do it all, country, jazz, rock & roll.

He and Dick Dale practically invented surf guitar virtuosity, and influenced thousands of guitar players and millions of kids worldwide.

So I'm spinning ancient Ventures vinyl tonight. He'll be missed.

I took a cruise to Mexico in the early 2000's, with The Ventures and Los Straitjackets playing in the lounge every night. All the original guys except for drummer Mel Taylor, who is R.I.P. In his place on the drum throne was his son!
