In this special episode, we explore the influential legacy of The Ventures, the iconic instrumental rock band that shaped generations of musicians with their driving sound and distinctive style. Joining us is guest host Jeff Schermer—lifelong music advocate, NAMM volunteer, and oral history contributor—who brings personal insight and passion to the conversation. The episode features interviews with Ventures members Don Wilson, Nokie Edwards, and John Durrill, along with Mosrite Guitar co-founder Andy Moseley. We’re also thrilled to include Jeff’s recent interview with Fiona Taylor, wife of drummer Mel Taylor, now part of the NAMM Oral History collection.
