RIP Don Wilson
At the beginning of it all for me. Don Wilson, co founder of The Ventures, has passed at 88. Every kid with a guitar in the 60's cut their teeth playing this raw riff. Natural causes and 88. Not a bad way to go out.
A few people feel the rain. Most people just get wet.

So good for sure! Saw them play in a bowling alley in Bako in the 70s. I was there with my Okie neighbors for league night followed by some music. I had no idea of what I was watching/hearing at the age of 10 but goddamn I loved it. Punk was popular at the halfpipe but the Ventures worked better with the halfpipe flow imo. May those fingers RIP

Don Wilson is playing a Strat. The lead guitar is a Fender Jazzmaster.
I like surf guitar.

Jazzmaster. Don't forget to crank up the Harmonic Tremolo and flog that Brownface reverb tank for all it's got!
