Scope and content

Publicity photo of the original members of Tacoma based rock group "The Ventures." Left to right: Nole F. (Nokie) Edwards, Bob Bogle, drummer Howie Johnson and Don Wilson. After their gold single "Walk, Don't Run" in 1960, the band recorded an endless stream of albums, sometimes as many as a half dozen a year. All recordings were instrumental, with the bands signature spare instrumentation and simplified arrangements, all accenting the guitar work. Just when their popularity in the U.S. began to wane with the rise of British vocal groups such as the Beatles, they scored with another gold single "Hawaii 5-O." As the seventies dawned, they continued to tour the Far East, becoming a national sensation in Japan. They are the only foreign group to ever receive Japan's prestigious Grand Prix Award. Nokie Edwards passed away March 12, 2018 in Yuma, Arizona.
