Les Paul : June 9, 1915 – August 13, 2009

Posted by Danny b Funk at 2:50 PM Labels: electric guitar, guitar, history, les paul, multi-track recording, music

Today is truly a sad day in music history. Guitar legend Les Paul passed away last evening, August 12th, at the age of 94 due to respiratory failure from pneumonia.

Mostly known for being the father of the electric body guitar, Les was also the pioneer of multi-track recording. His contributions to both the guitar and maybe even more so multi-track recording changed music as we hear, play, and record it today. A true genius, Les Paul will be greatly missed.

Rest in Peace Les Paul

Hey There

Thanks for stopping by.

This is a place for all things "entertainment", which is essentially all things me. Music, art, movies, TV, new technologies, "everything" and (maybe) anything involved with entertainment. I put the words "entertainment" and "everything" in parenthesis for the fact that firstly some things I may find entertaining other people may not and secondly there's no way I can really cover everything out there.

Some of my entries may seem completely random but I feel as though spontaneity and randomness should be a part of life. Nonetheless, I hope this brings you some kind of enjoyment, for that's the real reason behind this whole thing.

Thanks again and Enjoy.

Who Am I and What Am I Doing Here....?

Who am I? Where am I? What am I?

I am:

Entertainer, musician, comedian, writer, actor, beatsmith,
lumberjack,wrestler, magician, thinker, poet, wannabe hero
and occasional super-villain.

The exact origin of the name "Danny b Funk" is unknown but it was developed years ago
due to my funky bass playing and all around "funky"
nature (whatever that means).

My outlook and attitude towards life, as well as
inspirations are influenced greatly by:

1960's hippie culture, sounds, noise and beats, Funk, the Grateful Dead, cartoons,
Les Claypool, comic books, the 1971 film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory,
professional wrestling, "the groove", Living in the country, rhymes, The Twilight Zone
Dr. Seuss,improvisation, video games, standup and improv comedy,
old school hip hop, DJs, Shel Silverstein, Drum Machines,
Vinyl Discs, boat shoes, electricity, mythology, Eastern religion and philosophy,
acoustic instruments, Mick Foley, jazz, awkwardness, music as a whole,
antics, shenanigans and tomfoolery.

Thanks again for stopping by.
