Famous electric guitar pioneer Les Paul (Lester William Polsfuss) passed away today at the age of 94. Les Paul reportedly died in White Plains, New York from complications related to pneumonia. Born in Wisconsin in 1915, Paul was involved with music and recording his entire life, and performed on dozens of albums and singles. He made his first solid body guitar design in the late 1930’s dubbed “The Log,” because it was made out of a normal length of wood. Paul was also known for being involved in the invention of multitrack recording and tape delay.

Goodbye my friend,

We’ve spent many happy moments together
You?ve cheered me up and listened to me
Even though you could never understand each and every word
You still showed your unconditional love

I remember how you used to wake me up each morning
Sitting on my chest and licking my face
Claws digging into my duvet
How you would get any one of us to serve you breakfast
And the gratitude you showed with the cockroaches you caught
Which you proudly display outside my room

You are the only cat I know who gets his face cleaned by a towel
Your teeth brushed and your ears cleaned every morning
Breakfast was always the highlight of your day
Your fussiness is unparalleled
Steamed chicken and fried fish with a dash of salt
Your favorite food which I will always share when I have some

You had your place at our dinner table and you always will
Lapping at your milk and sitting with us while we eat
The games I played with you when you were young
The little hunting sessions when you were older
I still remember how proud you were
When you caught your first bat that flew into our home

I will miss your warm soft eyes
I will miss your furry funky presence
I will miss your royal ?meow?

You lived a full life
I am glad we all gave you happiness, contentment and comfort
You gave your family back in kind

I know dad will miss you even if he doesn’t say so
Mum misses you the most
For you are her favorite
But at least in passing, you are going to a place of rest
A place of peace

Goodbye, my “Spawn of Satan”
I know the name is not appropriate for one as you
For you have proven otherwise
For you have brought much joy and love into all our hearts
Goodbye my furry angel

Goodbye my friend, I will miss you

Spawn of Satan aka Chester, 1990 to 2008

Bernie Mac and Issac Hayes have left the building. I will miss you both. Mr Hayes, you will always be “The Man” and Bernie, you have always put a smile on my face when I needed comic relief.

I still can’t believe that both men are gone.

Bernie Mac, 50, from pneumonia at 50
Isaac Hayes, 65, found unconscious in his home next to a still-running treadmill.

The world has lost another comedian. George Carlin, the king of counter-culture comedy left us for that great Comedy Club in the sky on Sunday from heart failure. He was 71. He will be missed. May God bless his soul.
