Farewell to Venture Bob Bogle


Sad news from The Ventures website. Founding member Bob Bogle passed away on Sunday, June 14, 2009. At least we'll always be able to cherish the great music that Bob made with The Ventures. Here is a clip of "Slaughter on Tenth Avenue" from the Beloved Invaders film (1965). Thank you for the years of fantastic music Bob!

The Ventures were like The Beatles a tight knit group of musicians as professional sounding as any group could sound . Both groups influenced my guitar learning years.
