Bob Bogle from The Ventures RIP

The Ventures did a great cover version (using guitars) of the Hawaii 5-0 theme song.

Here is a youtube clip of the original tv version of the Hawaii 5-0 song: (the tv intro scenes bring back lots of memories of those days).

Impressive stuff. Back then, it was probably filmed all in one take.

And here is a cool version of "Pipeline".
Looks like it was filmed when they were getting older but not as old as in recent years.
