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 actually have a lot of their later stuff, after their popularity declined everywhere except Japan.

Some of their arrangements,  both covers and originals, were mind-boggling. Well recorded, too. They didn't sell very well, though.

There's a good reason to take cruise. Nu-surf and old surf on the same bill. Did they play with each other or just separately? That would be awesome to see them jam together.
