Diamond Head and Pipeline

During the moments of pause in between Posts I think it's good to bring in some music to jingle those bells in our attics and churn up some memories of old times.

Where were you during the era of "SURF " music ? What were you doing ? Who were you with ?
Surf music began during the mid 60s and early 70s. The Bands most associated with this kind of sound were The Beach Boys, The Chantays, Jan and Dean and many others. One particular band which stood out from the crowd were The Ventures and here they are with their brand of "Diamond Head and Pipeline. " We only listened to them before over the radio and through records, Now with the Internet and YouTube we can at last SEE them in action.



Alas two of them who are featured here, co-founder Bob Bogle and the drummer Mel Taylor, have passed on to join the heavenly band in the sky. Bob was the original Lead Guitarist but he switched places with original Bass player, Nokie Edwards who is not present in this particular lineup.

Enjoy and I hope this brought back some sweet memories for yous.
