Les Paul, The Legend and The Inventor Of The Solid-Body Electric Guitar, Dies At 94

les_paulLes Paul, the legendary inventor behind the birth of rock n’ roll, died today of complications from pneumonia at the age of 94.

During his long tenure on this planet, Les Paul was something like the Thomas Edison of music he is responsible for such groundbreaking inventions as multitrack recording, overdubbing, delay effects and, of course, the solid-body electric guitar. His work eventually earned him induction into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2005.

Few names conjure up as much respect in an industry as Les Paul, and that doesn’t appear likely to change anytime in the near future. Nearly all of the musicians and music lovers around today owe a tremendous debt to this man.

Its Not So Easy

Its Not So Easy

fall-in-loveAt the beginning its so easy not to say anything to someone that you just know recently, let’s say “who is she/he?, nothing to do with me, why I must care?”.

Yes, we say it, because we just know, we just know from the cover not inside to her/his heart, but this condition will suddenly make us surprise when we try to know closer than the first we saw, I will say that this is my personal experience, with the girls that I don’t care at the beginning.

First love, maybe the short message of this post, but its not interest when we start from it and make the story end without any conflict? Isn’t it?.

Too many song inspired by this kind of feeling, too many story too write with this one, but to many listeners still give their ear to hear it, too many readers to buy a legendary novel and ones to make surprising is they know where is the end of the story, romantic or tragic, it doesn’t a matter.

To the person whom become the object of this kind of feeling will be more strange, the could not sleep, feel guilty and everything they do is absolutely wrong, what the hells happened with the person when at the first time they are a strong person but at the end they are so crazy?

It’s a normal, its not so easy to control where the water will fall, fall in love, the stranger idiom that not so easy to handle it.

Superstars Of Dance

Superstars Of Dance

danceSuperstars of Dance begins on NBC at 9 PM, and when I try to reads and focused on it inconsistantly, I  just found one comment for this news in ones of the blog, here is the comentator said, “I have enjoyed  this fantastic dancing. The only problem that I have seen here with this program are the judges. They  seem to be very bias with certain countries. I was highly applaud at their judging with low scores to  some of the best performances that have performed compared to some that were just ok. example: USA,  South Africa and India. The judges that I feel that fall into this catorgy are Argentina, Australia,  South Africa and Ireland. The host of the show would have done a much better judging the show himself  because he knows critic when he see it. Very disappointed in the judging of this program “

I don’t know, becaused I’m not ones of the judge.

Firstly, according to my humble opinion, it just happend on the developing country only such as  Indonesia, Uh… imagine that our country join on that event. The judge bias to certain country, sounds  semm familiar in Indonesia, but its happend to int big international event such as Superstar Dance that  will be presented.

Cinderella Story

cinderellaA Cinderella story, did you ever heard it when you were child?, sometimes hearing again the old soundtrack from the movie that we ever watch before bring back our memories to a years before.

This is good because not all the good times we have, we forget it because of any reason, the schedule in our office, and any hard schedule of activity out side the office.

I don’t know, maybe there are a lot of version of cinderella in any different country, but in Indonesia its tell about the beatiful princess, an hearing back the soundtrack in different version will nothing to remind us.

When I try to find the list a soundtrack in english version, its so strange song title, because my cinderella maybe different version with your cinderella.

Mr Bojangles

Mr. Bojangles

I dont know, what is your opinion about music, and how far music can influence your life. But suddenly, when I heard Mr Bojangles, sing by Robbie Williams. that song feels so different, feels push me away to ten years ago. when I was a single.

Bojang Les, its look like comes from two different word and different meaning in Indonesia language, Bojang means single. and the meaning of the Bojangles, is useless single man, hehehe.. forget it, its just a joke.

The song inspired by a street performer in the New Orleans or by Bill Bojangles Robinson the famou stage and movie dancer, I don’t know, but Robert Peter Maximilian Williams sing that song successfully with his style. Brilliant song, sing by brilliant singer.
