Do you remember the Ventures and the drummer who played "Walk Don't Run"?

Hey, what a truly great video clip, it's fantastic to see that the General certainly hasn't lost his touch. Was that song really originally performed in 1959? Wow.

My friend of 55 years, Nokie Edwards, an original Ventures member, is still going strong in his early 80s, in fact, he's in Chicago at a music fest in the Mosrite guitar booth.

If want to see a beautiful instrument, squint an eye at the new Mosrite "Nokie". A gorgeous guitar.

Nokie was recently inducted into the R&R Hall Of Fame.

Here's a recent pic of Nokie and his wife and Business Manager, Judy.
