Damned, you beat me to it. I spent a half hour digging that up, and you beat me to the trigger. Oh well. It was Mel Taylor. Credits here, as well as a little background info here. He was a session man that appeared on "Alley Oop," and "The Lonely Bull" by Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass. He was with The Ventures from '62 - '96. If you've ever heard the Hawaii Five-0 theme, you've heard Mel Taylor.
