Stay Crunchy
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for responding Michael.
There is a young man in Kentucky, a YouTube sensation that I have managed to befriend, who is a musical phenomenon.
Our friendship has reached the point where he actually used my suggestion for a song title -- Stay Crunchy.
This was something I told him to do at the end of an instant messaging session, referring specifically to an aspect of audio distortion -- but it goes beyond that.
I have since told many people to stay crunchy, and it has come to mean being stalwart in the face of whatever may come.
Here is his YouTube channel:

...and here is Stay Crunchy:

His music is uplifting. He has an inimitable spirit, which shows in his playing. If he has a fault that I know of, it's messin' with the sound a bit too much after the track is complete.
Did I say his music is uplifting? I can't say it enough. He's tapped into something. You'll play a track, and you'll play it again, and you'll get up and dance. You'll marvel at the structure of it, if you know anything about music -- or even if you don't.
He plays for fun. He just happened to start doing it while playing a character on YouTube, and ended up releasing a CD under that name. The man behind the music is a young genius, caught up in circumstance -- not an idiot savant.

My hat is off.
He does it all with a couple of keyboards and a computer. This is some serious ****. I hope you all will see my passing of these links as a gift, and that you will enjoy his music as much as I do.
It has the power to transform. It is filled with energy, and light, and hope. And, it's crunchy.
STAY CRUNCHY!
