Invented the solid body electrical guitar that bore his name, Les Paul (Lester William Polsfuss) passed away on Thursday Aug 13, 2009 from pneumonia in New York. Collaborating with his wife, Mary Ford, after World War Two, Les Paul has some memorable hits such as “Mockingbird Hill” and “How High the Moon”. The greatest contribution from Les Paul was the signature solid body Gibson Les Paul electric guitar. Since its first inception in 1941, the Gibson Les Paul has sold millions and altered the landscape of music, especially Rock and Roll.

This song about H1N1 is hillarious. The H1N1 virus a.k.a Swine Flu has spread all across the world in less than 4 months, killing almost 700 people. First case of H1N1 was found in Mexico and it is now a pandemic.  Ms Magaret Chan, WHO Director, says that H1N1 will be the biggest and fastest spreading flu pandemic we have ever seen.

When Did You Fall In Love With Me – Chris Rice

// July 10th, 2009 // No Comments » // Music

You’re all smiles and silly conversation
As if this sunny day came just for you
You twist your hair, you smile and you turn your eyes away
C’mon, tell me whats right with you
Now it dawns on me probably everybody’s talkin’
And there’s something here I’m supposed to realize
Cause your secrets out, and the universe laughs at its joke on me
I just caught it in your eyes, its a beautiful surprise

Chorus:
When did you fall in love with me?
Was it out of the blue
Cause I swear I never knew it
When did you let your heart run free?
Have you been waiting long?
When did you fall in love with me?
When did you fall in love?

Make your way over here, sit down by this fool, and lets rewind
C’mon, lets go back and replay all our scenes
You can point out the hints, the clues, the twists and the smiles this time
All the ones that slipped by me
I bet my face is red, and you can hear my heart poundin’
Well I guess it don’t matter now that I realize
Cause baby I missed it then, but I can surely see you now
Right there before my eyes
You’re my beautiful surprise

Chorus:

Was it at the coffee shop
Or that morning at the bus stop
When you almost slipped, and I caught your hand
Or the time we built the snowman
The day at the beach, sandy and warm
Or the night with the scary thunderstorm
I never saw the signs
Now we’ve got to make up for lost time
And I can tell now by the way that you’re looking at me
Id better finish this song so my lips will be free

Have you been waiting long, when did you fall in love
I kept you waiting so long, when did you fall
Have you been waiting long
When did you fall in love with me
When did you fall in love?
