It just doesn't get any better than this. The incredible Nokie Edwards and Mel's son Leon. God Damn. When I heard this version on the album Live from Japan I couldn't believe it, I had never seen that kind of guitar playing from Nokie. Keep it going guys.
The late, great, Mel Taylor passed away in 1996 but he taught his son Leon and he is just as good. Thanks Mel and Leon! Thanks Nokie and Don and Bob for so many wonderful years!!
Godspeed, Mel. You go, Leon! I self-taught myself to play drums listening to Mel Taylor over the years. I'm not worthy, but thankful to his great talent.
God bless them to have a good healthy..

Like you, like me...I too learned to drum by listening to Mel Taylor's work with The Ventures... There is no greater drummer as far as I am concerned,
Leon has his own style that is respectable in and of it's self.
