Just over a week ago, Philadelphia guitar virtuoso Jack Rose passed away. Rose began his career in the 90s with the band Pelt but he was best known for his beautiful solo acoustic work on both 6 and 12 string guitar.

I can't do him justice here, so I'm sending you over to the DailySwarm for a really nicely written tribute to him. Check it out

Rest in Peace, Jack

I thought this video was pretty funny. Wouldn't the news be a lot more entertaining if it was done like this?

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.
