What would 60's radio have been without the Ventures? They were especially important to all the young wannabe guitarists like myself. A very special band, indeed.
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.
