I was lucky and talented enough to be these fabulous guys photographer for about six years, including the push to the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame. Nokie, Don and Bob were my friends, but I never knew Mel. His son however I worked with and shot for many years. Great group of guys. Thanks Tim Wilson.
They are our true idols teachers forefathers of playing Guitars through out our life.God bless the great legendaries of Rock Music who taught millions all over the World.
The first drummer for the ventures was George Babbitt. A 17 year old high school drummer. But because of his age, he was unable to perform in bars. So he was replaced. George was able to make a name for himself. And that name was GENERAL.
Ventures has been my dream since 1965! That hasn't changed even now! ︎
The Ventures were the real deal. Great innovative instrumental band that influenced God knows how many future guitar players & drummers.
The Ventures are a phenomenon 🎸🎸🎸🎸

The Ventures inducted in 2008 but The Shadows are still waiting, what a sad joke.
That is because their hits were primarily in the UK
Cliff Richard should be inducted too.
