Scope and content
Publicity for the original members of the Tacoma-based rock group "The Ventures". L to R: Howie Johnson- drums, Tacoma native Don Wilson-rhythm guitar, Bob Bogle- bass guitar, and Nole F. (Nokie) Edwards- lead guitar. Johnson holds a microphone up to Wilson's mouth, but The Ventures music was all instrumental. Their music stood out from that of other early sixties bands, because it was so simple and pure. Other bands had numerous instruments, brass and strings, and vocalization. The Ventures had the guitar, pure and simple. Nokie Edwards passed away March 12, 2018 in Yuma, Arizona.
