We lost Nokie Edwards last night. For those who are too young to remember, he was a guitarist for the surf band The Ventures.

Nokie fell, had hip surgery in December, and died of infection.

Nokie left us with sadness. Nokie gave us happiness. We’ll always remember Nokie, and he left us with music that makes us all richer. Thanks, Nokie. You will be missed.

Condolences to family and friends.

FSB

Thanks, for the heads up, Steve.

For those who know the story Fender did a limited edition run of Ventures Tribute guitars and basses for the Japanese domestic market. The line included a Stratocaster with Gold Lace pickups and Clapton mid boost, a Jazzmaster and a Jazz Bass.

This association with Fender was shortlived as the Ventures had already endorsement agreements with Aria and Mosrite.

I'll add a bit more reverb at my next gig for Nokie.

RIP, Nokie. :( I used to have the "Hawaii Five-0" soundtrack on vinyl from the Ventures, that my brother gave me with a bunch of old records. Other than hearing the theme from the TV show, I never even knew that existed before that.
