A Video RIP to the Legendary Bob Bogle

by Robert Wilkinson

The guitar world just lost a giant. Bob Bogle helped to found the Ventures, THE major instrumental band that influenced ten thousand guitarists. I found a few videos you may want to see.

First, an interesting music video of the Ventures doing one of their biggest hits, the Theme from Hawaii Five-O

Another fave, the Ventures doing Perfidia

A great live performance of Walk Don't Run '64.

There are many more tunes by this amazing band, so check out the sidebar next to any of these you tube videos. For now, though, I'll close with my personal favorite version of their biggest hit.

Walk, Don't Run, Bob, as you play lead and bass with some of the best in Rock and Roll Heaven. Thanks for the tunes across the years.

I read this and had to tell my husband about Bob Bogle. The Ventures were one of his favorite bands growing up, part of the influence that lead him to playing guitar. We loved watching the Hawaii Five-O video! RIP Bob....
