R.I.P. Eddie Bo

This might seem a little out of place on my blog, but Eddie Bo is someone that anyone who has a love of funky and soulful music should be aware of. He's not only influenced many contemporary greats over a broad span of style and genre, but his tracks have been directly used in many dance and DJ circles, such as DJ Shadow, The Chemical Brothers and Plump DJs, to name a few.

I also got to work with this man on a regular basis while I was a sound tech/stage hand at a bar on Bourbon Street many years ago. Eddie was one of the most warm and disarming personalities you could ever meet, and man could he wail on a piano!

Eddie will be missed.
