	NOKIE EDWARDS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Born 9 May 1939, Lahoma, Oklahoma Nokie Edwards was the bass player of the instrumental group the Ventures.
		Edwards was playing lead for Buck Owens in Washington (State) when, in 1959, Don Wilson and Bob Bogle asked him to join and form a band, which they originally called The Versatones, but the name was soon changed to The Ventures.
		Nokie remained in the picture however, and apparently the situation at that time was fairly flexible, with availability probably being the deciding factor on who was actually used.

	The Ventures - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When they added Nokie Edwards on bass, and Howie Johnson on drums, right after being signed by Dolton Records, they maintained this strong lead/rhythm interplay, so that even with Johnson's very much jazz/swing-influenced drum style, their sound carried an aggressive "drive" that was very influential on the sound of guitar-based combos that followed.
		Around this time, Nokie Edwards, a budding guitar virtuouso in his own right, suggested that Bogle's lead guitar abilities were being stretched, and that they were in essence wasting Nokie's talents by keeping him on bass.
		The combined effect of putting Nokie Edwards on lead guitar, and bringing Mel Taylor in on drums, created what many fans feel was The Ventures at their very best, a lineup that remained unchanged until Edwards left the band in 1968, to be replaced by Gerry McGee.
