The Ventures were the real deal & ahead of their time. All of them were great musicians. Don Wilson was a superb rhythm guitarist & a great visionary. Nokie Edwards was the man.

Walk Don’t Run, first song I ever learned on the guitar. My grandfather gave me his copy of it on the Ventures Golden Greats cassette, and I still have that cassette to this day. Worn completely out, of course.

I discovered The Ventures from my parents' albums when I was growing up in the '70's. They had the live album from 1964 or '65 with most of the songs recorded live in Japan and others in England. While listening to that album, my ears and my heart were captured by Mel Taylor's playing. I knew right then that I wanted to play the drums. Thank you to The Ventures and to Mel Taylor (R.I.P.) for inspiring a love of music and the drums that I will have for the rest of my life.

So sad that Bob, Mel and Nokie are not with us any more. I was lucky enough to see the Ventures play live at a few venues. The Palomino in North Hollywood was a wonderful small club to hear them play at. I did see Nokie Edwards play at Joes Bar & Grill in Burbank right before he passed. The Ventures were the number one influential band that gave me an interest to play the guitar.

You got to remember the Hall of Fame is a joke. There are great rock bands that should be in there and they're getting bands it just barely been around for barely 20 years. And they probably were only popular for 5 to 10 years.
